Cohortative mood
The cohortative mood (also known as Intentional; "cohortative subjunctive" is also synonymous with "hortatory subjunctive") is a grammatical mood, used to express plea, insistence, imploring, self-encouragement, wish, desire, intent, command, purpose or consequence. It is similar to the jussive mood, with the notable exception that the cohortative appears only in first person, whereas the jussive appears in second or third. Cohortatives are found in Hebrew. In several other languages that lack a specifically cohortative mood, there are corresponding expressions with approximately cohortative meaning. For example, Ancient Greek uses first person subjunctives (anachoreusōmen Bakchion, "let us dance for Bacchus," Euripides, Bacchae 1153). In English an equivalent idea may be expressed by a verbal auxiliary such as "let" (a usage which must not be confused with the more usual sense "allow, permit").
