Finiteness and Verb-form/Mood

In the Catalan corpus and lexicon there are no specific tags for the feature Finiteness. As in the case of other Romance languages, it is implicitly contained in the traditional division between non-finite forms of the verb (infinitive, participle, gerund) and the finite forms (which have four values for Mood): indicative, subjunctive, conditional, imperative.
