The jussive (abbreviated JUS) is a grammatical mood of verbs for issuing orders, commanding, or exhorting (within a subjunctive framework). English verbs are not marked for this mood. Whereas the cohortative applies to the first person (by appeal to the object's duties and obligations)[citation needed] and the imperative to the second (by command), the jussive typically covers the first and third persons,[1] as well as orders (by their author's wish) in the mandative subjunctive.

[edit] Examples

[edit] Latin

In the Latin language, the present subjunctive can convey jussive meaning in the third person (jussive subjunctive or coniunctivus iussivus):[2]

  • Adiuvet "He shall help."
  • Veniant "They shall come."

[edit] Korean

The jussive mood, in the form of the exhortative, can be found in Korean, as seen in the sentence:[3][dubious ]

공부 하-.
/gong/ /bu/ /ha/ "/ja/"
study do-EXH
"Now, let's study."
