Abstract
The article describes the semantic, formal and functional peculiarities of the conditional mood markers in the Tuvinian language. The modern Tuvinian language is distinguished by the simultaneous functioning of five analytical conditional mood forms, which have similar structure: “Future Tense form of a principal verb + Past Tense form of an auxiliary verb”. The author shows that the conditional mood expresses the meaning of unrealized potentially possible action or unrealized desirable (imaginable) action, which could have taken place if the condition (background situation) for its realization had existed.
