Description:

'U sin' is a set phrase with a sense like 'so that' or 'in order to', but note that Common doesn't have infinitives, so whatever follows, although it may drop an argument in some instances, will be parsed as a finite verb phrase. It has a sense of outlining a future objective and thus frequently encourages an irrealis mood, although this isn't mandatory.
