 ===== The subjunctive mood =====
-The subjunctive mood in Alhi is used to convey doubt, feelings, wishes, opinions, suggestions, etc. It can also be used for impersonal statements like ''Hido colu...'' 'It is good...'. Some usages of the subjunctive may involve a relative clause, such as ''Mo kelei mon, hido tusu.'' "It is bad that you wouldn't play."

Some usages of the subjunctive may involve a relative clause, such as ''Mo kelei mon, hido tusu.'' "It is bad that you wouldn't play."
