Date: December 16, 2025

Posted By: Ali AKPINAR

If you are learning Turkish at an intermediate level, you may already know how challenging it can be to express wishes, hypothetical situations, and past regrets. That’s exactly where IF Clauses (Type II & III) come into play.

What Are IF Clauses in Turkish?

IF clauses allow you to talk about unreal or imaginary situations. In Turkish, Type II IF clauses are used for wishes and unreal present situations, while Type III IF clauses help you talk about past regrets and situations that did not happen.

For example, you can express ideas like:

“If I were rich, I would travel the world.”
“I wish I had studied more.”
“If I had known, I would have acted differently.”
