In question to testo vedrai that there is a contrast of use of the Modi: Indicative and Congiuntive, contrary to the correspondenza of the tempi verbali. Vedi i concetti di ogni Modo e i loro tempi. / In this text you will see that there is a contrast between the modes: Indicative and ‘Congiuntive’, through the correspondence of verb tenses. See the concepts of each mode and their times.
Meaning: / Meanings:
Congiuntive: / "Congiuntive":
* "Congiuntive mode, finite mode which expresses un’azione or uno stato no come reali ma come possibili, supposti, temuti, desiderati and che supplisce alle forme mancanti dell'imperativo." / ‘congiuntive’ mode, infinitive mode that expresses an action or a state, not as a reality, but as a possibility, supposition, fear, desire and that replaces the missing forms of the imperative.
Callsign: / Callsign:
* “Indicative mode, mode of the verb che enunciates un fatto reale come tale.”. / Indicative mode, mode of the verb that states a fact real as such.
* Definition taken from the Dizionario Italiano Sabatini – Coletti edits dalla Casa Editrice Giunti.
If I can assert this meaning, it differs from the use of the ogni mode, obviously one is l'opposto dell'altro. L'indicative comes way della certezza and dell'oggettività and il congiuntivo comes way dell'incertezza and soggettività. Vedi gli esempi per ogni time. / Based on the meaning, the differences in the use of each mode can be observed; obviously one is the opposite of the other. The indicative is the mode of certainty and objectivity; and the 'congiuntive', the mode of uncertainty and subjectivity. See the examples for each time.
Attention! / Heads up!
If it renders interesting, the Congiuntive mode is equivalent to the ‘Subjunctive’ mode alla lingua portoghese. / It is interesting to know that the 'Congiuntive' mode is equivalent to the Subjunctive mode in the Portuguese language.
