imprecative mood
Some languages distinguish between the optative mood and an imprecative mood (abbreviated ). In these languages, the imprecative mood is used to wish misfortune upon others, whereas the optative mood is used for wishes in general. In such a language, "May he lose the race" is in imprecative mood, whereas "May I win the race" would be in optative mood. A commonly given example of a language with an imprecative mood is Turkish, which uses an otherwise obsolete future-tense suffix ''-esi'' solely in the third person for curses:
:''Geber-esi!''
:"May he die like a dog!"
