		Moods are different forms of the verb, each of which expresses the being, action, or passion, in some particular manner.
		Passive verbs, in English, are always of a compound form; being made from active-transitive verbs, by adding the Perfect Participle to the auxiliary verb BE, through all its changes: thus from the active-transitive verb love, is formed the passive verb be loved.

	Turkish Language - The Passive Mood
		The Passive Mood signifies that the verb acts upon the subject of the sentence whereas in the Active Mood the verb acts on the object of the sentence.
		In Turkish the passive verb stem is formed by adding the passive suffix to the basic verb stem.
		As can be seen the reflexive sign -n is the same as the passive form for those verbs whose stems end in a vowel but the context of the sentence is usually enough to make the meaning passive or reflexive quite evident.

		While the indicative mood relates fact, the subjunctive mood conveys possibility, states an unreal condition, or expresses a wish, and it is also used for indirect speech.
		As with the active voice of the subjunctive mood, in the passive voice the future tense subjunctive may substitute for the present tense subjunctive, and the future perfect tense may substitute for the past subjunctive.

		Mood Rings are a version of biorhythms, the three cycles that influence your mental, physical and emotional states.
		When your Body Ring is in the passive phase, you're comparable to Popeye before he's eaten his spinach; you're more prone to feeling weak and sluggish and are susceptible to illness.
		When your Heart Ring is in the passive phase, chances are you're not the belle of the ball, with your feelings of depression, pessimism and loneliness and your withdrawn nature.

		The passive factor was composed of management-by-exception passive and laissez-faire leadership.
		For management-by-exception passive the beta-coefficient for mood became significant and is in the expected direction.
		In the case of the evaluation of leaders, it is possible that followers become conscious of their mood and perhaps also of the reasons for that mood, and, therefore, avoid letting it influence their rating of a given leader.

		Results indicate that mood and the perception of leadership are indeed connected, especially in the case of less active leadership styles.
		Significant effects of mood are found only for Management-by-exception passive and for Laissez Faire: the better the mood of the respondents, the less respondents perceive their supervisor as management-by-exception passive and as laissez faire.
		Our analyses cannot rule out that the causality of the relationship we found between mood and the perception of leadership is in the reversed direction than the one we assumed, namely, that the leader has an impact on the mood and not the mood on the perception of leadership.

		is passive as oppose to saying, "otan paw eksetasi ginomai trellos.", but the person that is having something done to them in both cases is absolutely clear.
		by Greg Brush - Saturday, 4 November 2006, 11:23 PM Passive voice means that the subject of the sentence (in nominative case) is receiving the action of the verb, that is, is being acted on by someone or something else.
		The problem with using the term "passive voice" for some of these verbs is that the subject of the sentence is NOT being acted on by someone or something else, the subject himself is doing the action, which affects him, or benefits him, or involves him, or transforms him.

		Closest to the stem are the prefixes and the suffixes that change and adjust the meaning of the verb more directly, like the intensity markers and the mood suffix-complex.
		The mood and modality of a verb, if not indicative, is shown by frontwords, a prefix or a suffix-complex close to the root.
		Notice that the subject of a verb and the subject of the mood is always the same.

		The genitive case is used for the indirect object instead of the dative because the dative form of nouns and adjectives has fallen out of existence and the genitive case has absorbed most functions of the dative, which, for example, in Ancient Greece, Latin and German, is used for the indirect object.
		Some verbs can be in bboth the active and the passive voices, for example, ακούω (to hear) and ακούομαι (to be heard), while others can only exist in one voice such as ζώ (to live, be alive).
		The endingg of the verb in the passive voice depends on the verb itself and thus the suffixed used for the verb must be learnt separately For example, αγαπώ ‘to love’ and αγαπιέμαι ‘to be loved’ and λυπούμαι ‘to feel sad.’

	Handout: Das Passiv
		To transform the active to the passive, we turn the direct object "him" into the grammatical subject "he" and place it in the customary first position.
		German uses a very similar structure for the passive: the important difference is that instead of 'is' (to be) as the auxiliary verb, German forms the passive with werden.
		This use of the passive (called the impersonal passive, since there's no 'person' specified) is very common in German, and is used to denote general activity.

		But if we express the verb in passive voice (“is surfed”), the noun or noun phrase (“The Internet”) falling before the verb is not the true agent carrying out the verb action, even though it has appropriated the sentence’s “subject slot” and will be called the subject by many grammar handbooks.
		Passive voice makes us “think backwards,” and it often leaves us wondering who is responsible for things (since it often omits the subject).
		When a passive construction does include the subject, we see that the sentence is considerably longer than it could be in active voice--and it still didn’t get its zip back.
