I have never quite figured how to handle a sentence like this in Korean:
"Had it been cheaper I would have bought it."
How does one say this in Korean? |

Thank you for your replies.
YW, I think you have the answer I have been looking for.
So, it sounds... sounds like what?

or you can simply say "더 쌌으면 샀을거야."
there is no concept like the past perfect tense in Korean i guess...

하하하하
예원아 왜 이래 ㅋㅋㅋ
yea..the imperfect subjunctive is not common in korean..
더 쌌으면 샀을텐데
if it were cheaper i would've bought it.....
just another form depending on the context..
오늘은 왜 웃지 않고 있을까 그대
무슨 일인지 별일 아니였음 좋겠는데
시름 가득한 그대 얼굴 난 볼 수가 없는데
차라리 내가 아픈게 낫겠어 그럴 수가 없는게... |

I think you can also use 더라면 ...
Like:
비가 올 걸 알았더라면 내가 우산 가지고 왔을걸.
Had I known it was going to rain I would have brought an umbrella.
그 물건이 더 쌌더라면 샀을 거야.
If that item was cheaper I would have bought it.
Etc. |

I remember seeing this 더라면 in "Continuing Korean" textbook by Ross King.
I think it gave a construction like this:
"...았/었더라면, ... 았/었겠죠" |
