Albanian verbs have 6 'moods'. As mentioned elsewhere, the Albanian word for 'mood' is 'mėnyrė''.
The indicative mood, mėnyra dėftore, is used for simple
statements, declarations, etc., such as 'My name is Albi' or 'I was born in Albania'.
Mėnyra habitore is used to make such statements as well, especially
in surprising or unexpected situations.
Mėnyra kushtore (conditional mood)
and mėnyra lidhore (subjunctive
mood) are used to express possibility.
Mėnyra dėshirore and mėnyra
urdhėrore are used to express desire.
Mėnyra dėshirore is used for wishes or for curses.
Mėnyra urdhėrore is used for orders, commands, or demands.
Each mood has several tenses. Albanian grammar books describe 8 tenses
for the indicative mood, 4 tenses for the subjunctive mood, 4 for the 'surprised'
moods, 2 tenses for the conditional mood, 2 for the 'desire' mood, and just 1 tense
for the imperative mood. The Albanian word for 'tense' is 'kohė'.
