[lojban-beginners] [some kind of] conditionals
I'm sure there's a more precise linguistic term, but I don't know it.
How do you express sentiments like "I *would* go to the store, but I'm tired" (so I won't), possibly even omitting the secondary clause and leaving the reason to be inferred.
In a similar vein, how would you express "If I were rich, I'd be happy." (English subjunctive mood?)
Actually, If there's a good reference on conditionals, subjunctives, and counterfactual statements as they apply to lojban, please point me in that direction.
