Review Summary

  • Kad bih + past tense verb, [subject] + conditional verb

اشتباهات رایج

You must use the past tense after 'kad bih', not the present tense. Think of it as a 'past' hypothetical state.

Wrong: Kad bih imam novac, kupio bih auto.
صحیح: Kad bih imao novac, kupio bih auto.

While 'ako' is used for real conditions, 'kad' is the standard choice for hypothetical 'kad bi' structures in this context.

Wrong: Ako bih imao novac, kupio bih auto.
صحیح: Kad bih imao novac, kupio bih auto.

The first person singular requires 'bih', not 'bi'. 'Bi' is only used for third person.

Wrong: Ja bi kupio auto.
صحیح: Ja bih kupio auto.
