IF ONLY


If only you had acted sensibly, you wouldn´t now be in such a difficult position.

[Keşke] mantıklı hareket etmiş olsaydın şimdi bu güç duruma düşmezdin.

 

If only I knew earlier , I would have bought you a car.

[Keşke] daha önce bilmiş olsaydım, sana bir araba alırdım.

 

İ only don´t understand those 2 sentences. So why did you put ´bilmiş olsaydın´ instead of ´bilseydin´?

 

Mantıklı hareket etseydin şimdi bu güç duruma düşmezdim.

Daha önce bilseydim, sana araba alırdım.

 

Why didn´t you put like that and what is difference between them?

Actually, in Turkish translation that won´t make a big difference however in English I suppose it is better to say it  in  " If I had known " form instead of " If I knew ".
