Realis mood: Difference between revisions

A '''realis mood''' ([[list of glossing abbreviations|abbreviated]] '''{{sc|real}}''') is a [[grammatical mood]] which is used principally to indicate that something is a statement of fact; in other words, to express what the speaker considers to be a known state of affairs, as in [[declarative sentence]]s. Most languages have a single realis mood called the '''indicative mood''', although some languages have additional realis moods, for example to express different levels of certainty. By contrast, an [[irrealis mood]] is used to express something that is not known to be the case in reality.
