The Subjunctive Mood (संभाव्य क्रिया)
The subjunctive is used to express:
- Obligation: मुझे जाना चाहिए। (I should go.)
- Opinion/Belief: मुझे लगता है कि... (I think that...)
- Possibility: शायद वह आए। (Maybe he comes.)
- Request: क्या आप बैठें? (Would you sit?)
Relative-Correlative: जो...वो
This powerful construction links two clauses: "The one who... that one..."
Examples:
- जो मेहनत करता है, वो सफल होता है। (The one who works hard, that one succeeds.)
- जो किताब मैंने पढ़ी, वो बहुत अच्छी थी। (The book that I read was very good.)
चाहिए — The Most Useful Subjunctive
"चाहिए" (chahiye) = "should/need" — one of the most common and useful expressions:
मुझे पानी चाहिए। (I need water.)
हमें जाना चाहिए। (We should go.)
उन्हें आराम चाहिए। (They need rest.)
