Summary/Abstract: Central to the issue of translating modal particles is the translator’s capacity of recognizing the common action of these elements, and of the other means of expressing modality, of isolating their function and effect as well as of trying to obtain, by means of devices available in the target language, the same effect on the target recipients, that the original text has on the source receptors. Therefore, it is trying to identify the monolingual means of expressing modality that is important for translation practice, taking into account the postulation of a functional translation.
