Conditional

das Konditional

“conditional” is a statement that revolves around a condition in the sense of “if… then”. There are different types of these statements and some of those types might need a special form of the verb to be expressed. Even though conditional statements are pretty universal, the rules and definitions vary a lot between languages.

On this site, I also use “Conditional” for the verb form. Officially, it is called “Subjunktiv” in German.
