Tinjauan bahasa
Dalam bahasa Anda
Hypothetical meaning uses conditional words and context, not a special subjunctive inflection.
Seandainya saya kaya, saya akan keliling dunia.
If only I rich, I would travel around world.
Dalam bahasa yang dipelajari
Hypothetical and counterfactual meanings use particles such as لو and conditional structures.
لو درستَ لنجحتَ.
If you had studied, you would have succeeded.
Learners may confuse إن and لو or miss the counterfactual force.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
