"Kip (meaning "grammatical mood" in Turkish)"

I'm not sure what a grammatical mood is, so I tried a couple of well known translation services and got: kip == "mode". However big G did also manage "modal", "paradigm", "tense" and "module".

For my money: "tense". Just to confuse the issue, tense has several meanings in english! Here I think we are talking about a verbal tense:

Tense can also be synonymous with emotion: dangerous/exciting and also as a measure: tension/tight.
