Usage notes
- The future tense in Sicilian has fallen into disuse. There are at least two methods to express the future in Sicilian:
- by using the present indicative, or
- by using the construction aviri a, which is similar to the have to construction in English.
- The conditional has also fallen into disuse in Sicilian.
- The present conditional may be replaced by the present indicative or the imperfect subjunctive.
- The past conditional may be replaced by the past perfect subjunctive.
- In the Messinese dialect, the conditional is still in use, and the conjunctive is sometimes replaced by the imperfect indicative, especially in the present tense.
- See the Wikipedia article on the Sicilian language for more information.
