Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the maintenance of Subjunctive in final subordinate structures in Judeo-Spanish (JS) in contrast to the greater part of subordinate clauses where the Subjunctive tends to be replaced by the Indicative. This maintenance is seen as highly supported by the replacement of infinitive by finite structures in JS, following the Balkan gradual pattern of Infinitive replacement, final clauses being one of the most clear and outstanding semantic-syntactic areas where para + Infinitive is replaced by para ke + Subjunctive in JS.
