· pogojnik

bi + the -l participle — and bi never changes

The conditional (pogojnik) means would — and it's how you ask for things politely. The recipe is just bi + the -l participle (the same one you learnt for the past). Best of all, bi never changes for person: jaz bi, ti bi, on bi, mi bi. Only the participle still agrees with gender: bi govoril (m), bi govorila (f). The phrase you'll use most: rad / rada bi = 'I would like' — Rad bi kavo.

Rad bi kavo.I'd like a coffee. (m)rad bi = I'd like

Bi mi pomagal?Would you help me?bi + participle

Rada bi šla domov.I'd like to go home. (f)participle agrees
