Volitive modality (abbreviated ) is a linguistic modality that indicates the desires, wishes or fears of the speaker. It is classified as a subcategory of deontic modality. ==Realisation in speech== Volitive moods are a category of grammatical moods that are used to express volitive modality. Examples are the optative, desiderative and imprecative moods.〔 However, many languages (like English) have other ways to express volitive modality, for example modal verbs ("''Would'' that you were here!", "''May'' he live forever!"). The ''volitive'' in Esperanto is really a generic deontic mood, expressing commands as well as will, desire, and purpose. It is formed by adding a ''-u'' to the verb stem. *''Estu feliĉa'' "May you be happy!" *''Donu al mi panon'' "Give me bread!" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Volitive modality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
