Ross

I believe the answer is:

mood

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'maybe the subjunctive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'low dutch' is the wordplay.
'low' becomes 'moo' (both can mean to make the noise of a cow).
'dutch' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation).
'moo'+'d'='MOOD'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mood that I've seen before include "Disposition" , "Feeling of doom" , "Low spirits" , "State of mind or emotion" , "Emotional state" .)
