Optative

祈愿式

A term sometimes used in grammatical description, to refer to a category of mood which expresses a desire, hope, or wish. The optative mood is chiefly known from Classical Greek. Optative expressions in English use the modal verbs or the subjunctive.

语法描写有时用来指一类表达愿望、希望或意愿的情态。主要见于古希腊语。英语中祈愿式用情态动词或虚拟语气表示。
