propositive mood
{{Short description|Grammatical mood}}
The propositive mood (abbreviated {{sc|prop}}) expresses proposals or suggestions as a grammatical mood. An example in Korean:
:{{lang|ko|가게에 간다.}} {{Transliteration|ko|gage-e ganda.}} {{ndash}} "Goes to the shop." (declarative)
:{{lang|ko|가게에 가.}} {{Transliteration|ko|gage-e ga.}} {{ndash}} "Go to the shop." (imperative)
:→ {{lang|ko|가게에 가자.}} {{Transliteration|ko|gage-e gaja.}} {{ndash}} "Let's go to the shop." (propositive)
It is similar to the imperative mood, which expresses commands, in that it is directed to the audience.
Languages featuring a propositive mood, as distinct from an imperative, include Korean and Japanese.
