Deliberative mood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deliberative mood (abbreviated DEL) is a grammatical mood that asks whether the speaker should do something, e. g. "Shall I go to the market?"[1]
The Afar language has a deliberative mood, as in aboo "Shall I do (it)?", with the suffix -oo denoting the deliberative.[1]
