had I known…
· pogojnik IIče bi vedel · kot da bi · ko bi le
Beyond simple 'if', B2 uses bi for the unreal past (regret/hindsight): Če bi vedel, bi ti povedal (had I known, I'd have told you). 'As if': kot da bi — govori, kot da bi vse vedel. 'If only': ko bi le + participle. And near-misses: skoraj bi pozabil (I almost forgot).
