"Je suis sûr que vous aimeriez" ==> Hypothesis: You haven't tried it yet

"Je suis sûr que vous aimez" ==> Present: you already love

"Je suis sûr que vous allez aimer" ==> Near future: it’s imminent

In your red sentence be aware of the mistake: "vous aimriez" .
Correct it's: vous aimeriez

[trim dock]

They meant to write aimiez, the subjunctive, which is what they were asking about, just for clarification

And theoretically yes, it should be subjunctive, though the implied meaning feels different to me

[snow pine]

wait ik this is a stupid question for the subjunctive conjugation for "aimer" is it not que vous aimiez? why in 1st sentence its "vous aimeriez"?

[snow pine]

yaya thats what i meant

[snow pine]

i think my example was just ass lol

[trim dock]

You wrote aimriez

Which just looks like a misspelling of aimeriez

[trim dock]

I wouldn't say it's ass, just a more complicated structure than just "subjunctive vs not subjunctive" since conditional is getting thrown into the mix

[snow pine]

"Je suis sûr que vous aimeriez" ==> Hypothesis: You haven't tried it yet"
for this part that they wrote im confused why they said its a hypothesis but kept the conjugation at "aimeriez"

i thought for hypothesis on utilise le subjonctif

[trim dock]

No

Hypothesis you're assuming something is true and therefore treating it as real

[snow pine]

ohh so hypothesis (is based on observation and not really opinion-like) --> indicatif

[trim dock]

Probably not 100% solid rule but stuff like thoughts, theories and opinions are generally indicative
Though when it delves into stuff like emotions it's subjunctive

[snow pine]

I see. thank you so much dude

[trim dock]

There's some wishy washiness to it and stuff where literary "rules" on how to use it get thrown out the window so it can get a bit confusing

[snow pine]

yea im trying to focus on the "whether its about sentiment or not" to decide if its subjonctif/indicatif

but then again its french.

[trim dock]

It's a language, all languages have silly stuff like this in some way or another

[snow pine]

1 more small q but is futur proche considered as a part of indicatif?

[snow pine]

yup

[trim dock]

Futur proche is just regular present indicative tense

[snow pine]

thanks!

[trim dock]

The only "non-indicative" tenses are the 4 subjunctive tenses, of which only 2 maybe 3 are really used

Only 2 in everyday language

[snow pine]

present and past subjunctive?

[trim dock]

Yep

[analog fjord]

And imperatives
And possibly conditional depending on what you subscribe to

But I nitpick

I didn't know you're here
