3.3.3.1. Deontic modality
Some modals express deontic modality which indicates the attitude of the language user towards an act or event such as necessity/obligation, recommendation, ability, permission and intention/volition. In the following, the Turkish glosses are also provided in parantheses since the English glosses may not accurately reflect the subtle differences between the modal meanings expressed by the Turkish names given to these signs by TİD signers.
necessary (lazım), obliged_to (mecbur), have_to (zorunda), permıtted (serbest), permission (izin), positive (olumlu), forbıdden (yasak), want (istemek), not_right (olmaz), and maybe (belki) are some of the signs that express deontic modality.
