The propositive mood (abbreviated Template:Sc) expresses propositions or suggestions as a grammatical mood. An example in Korean:
- 가게에 간다. gage-e ganda. - "Goes to the shop." (declarative)
- → 가게에 가자. gage-e gaja. - "Let's go to the shop." (propositive)
It is similar to the imperative mood, which expresses commands, in that it is directed to the audience.
Languages featuring a propositive mood, as distinct from an imperative, include Korean and Javanese.
