The necessitative mood (abbreviated NEC) is a grammatical mood found in Turkish and Armenian, which combines elements of both the cohortative (which is typically used in only the first person) and the jussive moods (which is typically only used in the first and third persons[1]).
It expresses plea, insistence, imploring, self-encouragement, wish, desire, intent, command, purpose or consequence.
Turkish has a past (both definite and inferential), and non-past necessitative.
It is also possible to combine the necessitative with the modal verb "can" in all three tenses.
The Eastern particle piti is orthographically identical to the Western particle bidi, which is used to form the future indicative and conditional.
