FAQ
What is the konjunktiv 2 of 'mögen'? The Subjunctive 2 (Konjunktiv 2) of 'mögen' is 'möchten' in its base form, which must then be conjugated for all persons.
"Möchten" is a Konjunktiv II form that has been conjugated and does not work as its own infinitive. The fact that it ends with "-en" does not make it any more of an infinitive than "möchte" or "möchtest" would be.
Lesson Summary Konjunktiv II in the past tense is built with haben or sein in Konjunktiv II present + Partizip II, Futur I is built with the verb würde in Konjunktiv II + infinitive, and Future II is made with verb würde in Konjunktiv II + participle II + haben or sein in infinitive.
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.
To form the conditional in German, the Subjunctive 2 (Konjunktiv 2) is used. The Subjunctive 2 is a mood used to express doubt or uncertainty, which is why it is used for the conditional; we are not stating what is or has happened, but what could or would happen if certain conditions are met.
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 Subjunctive I (Konjunktiv I) is almost always used in the 3rd person singular; we form this by removing the final -n from the infinitive. The verb sein is unique in the Subjunctive I: ich sei, du sei(e)st, er sei, wir seien, ihr sei(e)t, sie seien. Example: Er sagte, sie seien im Kino.
