Review Summary
- Verb stem + isi + personal ending
常见错误
You do not need an auxiliary verb like 'haluaa' when the verb itself is already in the conditional mood. The -isi- suffix already carries the 'would' meaning.
In 'if' clauses, the conditional mood should be used in both parts of the sentence in Finnish when discussing hypothetical situations.
This is actually correct, but beginners often forget the personal ending. Ensure you add -in for 'I'.
Next Steps
You've mastered the conditional! Keep practicing these forms in your daily life to make them second nature.
