Talk:Cohortative mood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Hebrew Example It seems like the example given for Hebrew really pulls the reader away from the discussion of Cohortatives. The theological debate that is explicated afterwards takes up more room than the linguistic part! Why not choose a cleaner example? Existent80 July 9, 2005 12:00 (UTC)

Would that there were only an English example! njh 09:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

This is interesting, is the form really not used in Modern Hebrew? Isn't it common in Mathematical text? Again, corresponding to the english "let us" in math?

Apparently since the hortatory subjunctive/cohortative mood lacks enough history or interest, I've taken the liberty of adding a very recent example of hortatory subjunctive used in real life, like after grammar was actually invented. (At least for hebrew/arabic.) My original source was my watching C-SPAN, but someone may want to link http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003427.php which has very targeted and relavent content and video. 75.4.241.138 12:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
