kot da
As if
Kot da introduces a comparison with an apparent or imagined situation.
How It Works
Kot da introduces a comparison with an apparent or imagined situation. Indicative and conditional forms can express different degrees of factual commitment; select the form that matches the intended meaning.
Kot da vse ve presents an apparent comparison using indicative ve. Kot da bi bil doma makes the imagined comparison explicit with bi and an agreeing participle. Neither construction certifies that the comparison is literally true.
