Preguntas frecuentes (6)

No, 'fi' is the fixed auxiliary for this tense. You only use 'fost' if the main verb is 'to be' (e.g., aș fi fost - I would have been).
Yes, both use the auxiliary ar. So el ar fi mers and ei ar fi mers look identical.
No, for past hypotheticals, you must use the past conditional or the pluperfect. Future is for future possibilities.
This is the colloquial use of the Imperfect. It's very common in spoken Romanian but should be avoided in formal writing.
No, you must change the auxiliary (aș, ai, ar, am, ați, ar). Only the 'fi' part stays the same.
'Am vrut' is a simple fact (I wanted). 'Aș fi vrut' is a regret (I would have liked to, but it didn't happen).
