Conditional clauses in Korean grammar are essential for expressing situations in which one action or event depends on another. They allow speakers to indicate hypothetical or real conditions and their possible outcomes. Korean conditionals typically use the “-면” (“-myeon”) or “-으면” (“-eumyeon”) endings to convey “if” or “when” statements. Mastering conditional clauses is crucial in achieving fluency in the Korean language.
