: ''pū nanū pāṭṭarudrīderi nanū tṛliriṣyari/tṛlirdia.'' "if you two study more, you two would know/understand more." Note that in such a sentence there's no difference between using a future (e.g. ''tṛliriṣyari'' here) or a present indicative (''tṛlirdia'' here). 

: ''pū liliā bunā gėrisa gīti tami liliā bunā gu gīti ša'' "if my father were a lake, he wouldn't be my father."
