with a present-tense meaning (although normally translated in English with a past tense).
[edit]Hi, could sb. elaborate on this, adding some grammatical/academic reference for the reason thereof? Thanks in advance. Backinstadiums (talk) 18:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- That's more of an observation about English (for example, "if they were here" refers to the present tense, even though "were" is a past tense form). It probably doesn't need to be mentioned here. --WikiTiki89 18:56, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
لَوْ كُنْتَ أَحْبَبْتَنِي ― law kunta ʾaḥbabta-nī ― if you had loved me
[edit]HI, the meaning of كُنْتَ cannot be inferred from the entry for كان, therefore such a use should be added. Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:39, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
