(This conjugation is termed "I/II" to coincide with historic/Western numbering, where there are still three distinct conjugations) Note that traditional Armenian grammars use Aorist for Preterite and Optative for Subjunctive.
For example, նամակ գրող մարդը namak groġ mardə - The man who is writing a letter / The man writing a letter (there is only a present tense gerund in English) նամակ գրած մարդը namak grac mardə - The man who has written a letter մարդու գրելիք նամակը mardu grelik’ namakə - The letter that the man will write (roughly, "the man's will-be written letter") Additionally, the synchronical gerund or present participle II denotes a simultaneous action.
In other words, a concurrency between two verbs: Ես վազելիս ընկա yes vazelis ənka - I fell while running Note: the Conditional mood is sometimes labeled the Hypothetical mood; in the Necessative, պետք է petk’ ē is used as a stronger form of պիտի piti; and that resultive constructions are not moods.
