假如 … ，就 … (jika / seandainya)
IntroducedTry when an opportunity arises
- A friend wants to join a workshop but does not yet have a place. supposing假如have有chance机会，then就go去try试试。 — if there is an opportunity, give it a try.
- The advice sets a possible condition. It does not announce that a place has already been offered or that trying guarantees success.
You advise a friend to try if an opportunity arises. What does 假如有机会，就去试试。 communicate?
The opportunity is a hypothetical condition for trying. 就 is common in the result clause, but not mandatory in every 假如 sentence. The condition is not a statement that the opportunity already exists.
Put the condition before the response
- supposing假如 + condition，…then就 + response links a supposed situation with a result, plan or suggestion.
- In the original example, have有chance机会 is the condition and go去try试试 is the suggested response. Read the response as advice, not as an action already completed.
supposing假如have有chance机会，then就go去try试试。
Use the lesson target 假如 in this example: If there's a chance, give it a try: ____ 有机会，就去试试。
假如 … ，就 … = jika / seandainya: 假如有机会,就去试试.
Update the actual condition
- supposing假如tomorrow明天have free time有空，we / us我们then就go去visit (a place)参观。 — if we are free tomorrow, we will go and visit — uses tomorrow’s availability.
- Pesan selanjutnya menyatakan bahwa semua orang bebas hari ini tetapi sibuk besok. Ketersediaan hari ini tidak menetapkan kondisi untuk besok.
假如 paling dekat dengan…
假如 ≈ 如果, sedikit lebih formal / hipotetis.
The plan is 假如明天有空，我们就去参观。 A later message says free today, busy tomorrow. Is today’s availability evidence for the named condition?
Keep the time in the condition. Today’s availability does not establish tomorrow’s availability.
Jangan require then就 di setiap tempat
- supposing假如you你have free time有空，we / us我们together一起go去(suggestion)吧。 — jika kamu punya waktu luang, mari kita pergi bersama — adalah ajakan tanpa then就.
- then就 adalah pasangan umum, bukan kata wajib dalam setiap kalimat kondisional. Klausa kedua yang lengkap tetap memberikan respons yang bermakna.
Every sentence beginning 假如 must include 就 in the result clause.
就 is a common partner, not obligatory in every conditional: 假如你有空，我们一起去吧 is natural.
假如有机会，就去试试。 guarantees that trying will succeed.
The advice names a condition for trying; it does not guarantee the outcome of the attempt.
Pisahkan if dari even if
- supposing假如to rain下雨，I / me我then就not不go去。 mengubah rencana jika hujan. even if (here)就是to rain下雨，I / me我also也go去. tetap pergi meskipun kemungkinan hujan.
- Kondisi if biasa tidak melaporkan bahwa hujan pasti terjadi. Itu juga tidak mencantumkan setiap alasan yang mungkin seseorang pilih untuk tidak pergi.
Match the complete sentence to its relationship.
The if-condition, even-if concession and conditional invitation state different responses.
假如下雨，我就不去。 alone establishes that rain is the only possible reason for not going.
This statement gives one conditional response. It does not rule out every other possible reason for not going.
Baca kondisi, respons, dan bukti
- Identifikasi kasus yang diasumsikan dan hasil atau tindakan yang diusulkan. Pastikan bukti apa pun yang kemudian relevan dengan orang, waktu, dan kondisi yang sama.
- Pisahkan nasihat dari keberhasilan yang terjamin. Jangan require then就 di setiap tempat atau ubah kondisi if menjadi laporan cuaca atau daftar penyebab lengkap.

Recall the situation: Try when an opportunity arises. Decide what the speaker wanted to communicate. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
