New Testament • Re: Matthew 27:46 hina clause not in subjunctive mood

ἵνα τί με ἐγκατέλιπες

Why is this hina clause not in subjunctive mood?

The ἵνα clause has no verb. It’s just ἵνα τί. You could think of it as “You abandoned me in order to what?” if it helps you to English it differently.

Exactly. Consider the ‘subjunctive’ to be inside the τί, as if to say “in order that [it would be] what?’
