====Bulgarian==== Modal distinctions in subordinate clauses are expressed not through verb endings, but through the choice of [[complementizer]] - ''че (che)'' or ''да (da)'' (which might both be translated with the [[relative pronoun]] "that"). The verbs remain unchanged. In ordinary sentences, the imperfective [[Grammatical aspect|aspect]] is most often used for the indicative, and the perfective for the subjunctive, but any combination is possible, with the corresponding change in meaning. * e.g. iskam da stanesh (perfective) / iskam da stavash (imperfective) - i want you to get up. The latter is more insisting, since the imperfective is the more immediate construction. Thus: * [[Indicative mood|Indicative]] - '''че''' - ** e.g. ''знам, че си тук - znam, '''che''' si tuk'' - I know that you are here; * Subjunctive - '''да''' - ** e.g. ''настоявам да си тук - nastoyavam '''da''' si tuk'' - I insist that you be here.
