FAQ
The German subjunctive (Konjunktiv) is a grammatical mood. The default mood is the indicative (der Indikativ); this presents information as pure fact. In contrast, the subjunctive shows that the information being presented has an element of fantasy, impossibility, doubt or a general 'unreal' quality.
If you want to talk about something another person said, you may use one of the two special moods in German - the Konjunktiv I (Subjunctive I). This is not a very common form, since it's primarily used for indirect speech. It's rarely used in spoken language, but you will find it in newspapers and articles.
Konjunktiv I is used to indicate reported speech (when you are telling someone what somebody else has said).
Konjunktiv I is used for the 2nd and 3rd person singular and 2nd person plural, the Konjunktiv II for the 1st person singular and the 1st and 3rd person plural to avoid confusion. We can also use the Konjunktiv II to express a wish or desire, to make conditional sentences or to make special, polite phrases.

The conjugation of haben (have, possess) in subjunctive II is: ich hätte, du hättest, er hätte, wir hätten, ihr hättet, sie hätten. As an irregular verb is the changed subjunctive stem hät- used.
The present tense Konjunktiv I has the same conjugation endings as the normal present tense (-e, -st, -t, -en, -t, -en) but with the difference of adding -e between the verb and the ending in the second and third person singular and first person plural.
