Summary/Abstract: "e main objective of the research is to map the functional equivalents in the Estonian and Hungarian mood systems. Examining the mood system in subordinate clauses also provides insight into those aspects of mood choice that occur only in the subordinate clause. "e study also examines the Estonian subordinate clause containing the da-in!nitive predicate as a frequent subordinate clause type. "e di#erences in the mood systems of Estonian and Hungarian are partly due to di#erences in grammatical tradition (i.e. the lack of jussive in Hungarian) and partly to di#erences in the two language systems (several uncommon functions of the Estonian conditional and Hungarian imperative, the lack of quotative in Hungarian, etc.).
