če + Indicative

Open Conditions

Level 4

Če with an indicative verb introduces a condition treated as open or possible.

How It Works

Če with an indicative verb introduces a condition treated as open or possible. Future meaning need not require a future form in both clauses.

Če imaš čas treats having time as an open condition rather than an imagined contrary situation. An imperative can give the requested result: pridi. Do not insert bi automatically whenever English uses if.
