Usapang Tagalog Subjunctive Mood...

Here is another similar TDC forum discussion : tagalog.com/msg/m.ph p?p=26568

Since I am re-learning Tagalog, my observation is that Tagalog talking mood is more of Subjunctive than Indicative. And perhaps more on Imperative mood also.The other post says that there is no concept of indicative and subjunctive mood... more or less like that...The indicative mood Tagalog is the one we would say "ang lalim mo naman magsalita ng Tagalog."An example perhaps...
Minamarapat mo na gawain ang mga bagay na yan.
But we say...
Dapat gawin mo yan.Or

Gusto ko ang librong ito.

The use of “asahan”, “gusto”, and “pwede ba” can provide the subjunctive mood to a sentence.inaasahan namin na magaling ka magluto -> ... magaling kaNG magluto (magaling NA magluto)gusto mo ba na maghanda ako/siya ng pagkain – correct (just add “?” at end)

gusto ko na magluto ka ng tacos at tamales - correctno problem. inaasahan ko na dumating na gutom ang iyong mga kaibigan -> ... DARATING NANG gutom ... (dumating is “to arrive, while “darating” is “would arrive”; darating nang gutom – it should be “nang” to make “gutom” an adverb > would arrive hungry)

oo. inaasahan ko na kainin nila yung mga delicacies na ihahanda mo -> ... KAKAININ nila ... (would eat)kailangan ko rin na mag-bake si Carla ng cake pwede mo bang hilingin sa kanya ito -> ... ng cake. Pwede mo bang hilingin ITO SA KANIYA? - might sound more natural/colloquial

oo. gusto mo ba na magpadala siya ng mga invitation din -> ... magpadala DIN siya ng mga invitation/imbitasyon? - more naturalmaganda yan. pwede mo ba hilingin sa kanya na huwag siya mag-imbita ng higit 20 katao please -> maganga ‘YAN. Pwede mo baNG hilingin sa kaniya na huwag siyaNG mag-imbita ng higit SA 20 katao, please?sure. gusto mo ba na magplano ako ng activity tulad ng karaoke – correct (add “?” at end)oo, ang saya. inaasahan ko na kanta tayong lahat ng mahabang oras - ... MAGKAKANTAHAN ... NANG mahabang oras – “mahabang oras (many hours)” serves as an adverb for “magkakantahan (would be singing in groups or in turns)”oo nga. gusto natin na mag-good-time ang lahat – correct, but “magkaroon ng good-time” would sound better to me.Also, we would usually attach the “na” to the preceding word, but keeping it apart does not make it wrong.

@owenferrer All of that sounds weird to me. Judging Tagalog grammar by using the grammar styles of other languages as criteria is just like expecting an orange to taste like an apple or vice-versa. The use of "marapatin" makes it sound very formal; using "dapat" is colloquial. They do not indicate the mood of the sentence.Ikinalulugod ko ang aklat na ito. = I am glad of this book. - ???
