Lesson 12
Conditional (-us)
Hypothetical situations, polite requests, and 'would'.
Listen & repeat
The -us ending
The conditional expresses what would happen under other circumstances: Mi irus, sed mi estas okupata (I would go, but I am busy). Form it like past/future: root + -us. It also softens requests: Ĉu vi povus helpi? (Could you help?)
