The irrealis mode makes no assertion whatsoever that an event or state actually holds true. This is not the same as the negative where in an event did not or will not take place, it simply makes no claims with respect to the actuality of the event or situation described. In most cases, an irrealis mode can best be translated as an "if" mode. But it can be translated into different meanings depending on the situation, e.g., conditional, imperative, optative, hypothetical, potential, etc.

[functions] similarly to the 'irrealis' mode
Though I agree with Nadia and her examples of 'irrealis' mode, I don't see how a morpheme can "resemble" or "be similar to" a mode. It can "function similarly to" or "invoke" a mode.
Note from asker:
| Thanks, this does seem fishy. I've taken this suggestion in my translation. :) |
| After review, I can see this answer may be better... |
