Past Conditional: -tam volna

To talk about something that would have happened but did not, use the past tense + volna. Volna never changes: eljöttem volna (I would have come), segítettél volna (you would have helped), megvettük volna (we would have bought it).

• Both parts of a past unreal condition use it: Ha szóltál volna, eljöttem volna. (If you had told me, I would have come.)
• Bárcsak + past + volna expresses a regret: Bárcsak többet tanultam volna! (If only I had studied more!)
• After nem or a stressed word, the verb prefix moves behind volna: nem késtük volna le, nem esett volna le.
• For I → you use -lak/-lek: meglátogattalak volna, megértettelek volna.
