Editing Subjunctive mood (section)

====Scottish Gaelic====
In [[Scottish Gaelic]], the subjunctive does exist but still takes the forms from the indicative: the present subjunctive takes the (dependent) future forms and the past subjunctive takes the conditional forms. The subjunctive is normally used in proverbs or truisms in phrases that start with 'May...'
For example,
* '''''Gum bi''' Rìgh Ruisiart beò fada!'' – Long live King Richard (lit. May King Richard live long).
* '''''Gum bi''' beanachd Dè oirbh uile!'' – May God bless you all!
* '''''Gun gabh''' e a fhois ann sìth'' – May he rest in peace.

Or when used as the conjunction, the subjunctive is used, like every other language, in a more demanding or wishful statement:
* ''Se àm '''gum fàg''' e a-nis.'' – It is time that he leave now.
* ''Tha e riatanach '''gun tèid''' iad gu sgoil gach là.'' – It is necessary that they go to school every day.
* ''Dh'fhaighnich e '''nach faic''' mi ise.'' – He asked that I not see her.

The subjunctive in Gaelic will sometimes have the conjunction ''gun'' (or ''gum'' before verbs beginning with labial consonants: ''p'', ''b'', ''m'' or ''f'') can be translated as 'that' or as 'May&nbsp;...' while making a wish. For negatives, ''nach'' is used instead.

Note that the present subjunctive is identical to the dependent future tense form, which lacks the ending ''-idh''!

In Scottish Gaelic, the past subjunctive of the verb ''bi'' 'be' is ''robh'', exactly the same as the dependent form of the preterite indicative.

For every other verb in Gaelic, the past subjunctive is identical to the conditional.

Examples:
* '''''Nan robh''' mi beairteach, shiubhlainn air feadh an t-saoghail.'' - If I were rich, I would travel all over the world.
* '''''Mura dèanainn''' m' obair-dhachaigh, bhithinn ann an trioblaid.'' - If I had not done my homework, I would have been in trouble.
Or: '''''Mura robh''' mi air m' obair-dhachaigh a dhèanamh, bhithinn (air a bhith) ann an trioblaid.''
