Quoting pap:

Please, could you tell me how can İ say:

İ would dance if İ knew.
He would help me if he could.
They would cry.

İ mean İ need to know how to use ''would'' in Turkish.
Thank you very much for helping me.



bilseydim, dans ederdim.
bana yardım ederdi, edebilseydi
onlar ağlardı

dans etmeyi biliyorsam dans edebilirim..
eger o biliyorsa bana yardim edebilir..
onlar aglarlar..



Why did you use eğer in the second sentence,and not with first sentence as well ?

When do we use eğer,and when we don't use it ?

Can we use it alone without (sa,se ) suffix ?
Or it is supportive in meaning for the (sa,se ) suffix ?

I think "eğer" can only be used with the conditional suffix -se.
My understanding is that is ommitted if the rest of the sentence makes the conditional nature clear......but I thought this was largely dependent upon how much text exists between the place "eğer" would be put and where -se is located - but the above examples prove me to be at least partly wrong :-S
