If you had invited me I would have gone in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

The sentence consists of a conditional (“if”) clause and a result (“would have”) clause. Here’s how it breaks down:

1. Structure:
 • "초대했다면" comes from the verb 초대하다 (“to invite”). The stem 초대했- is the past form meaning “invited” and adding -다면 creates a conditional clause meaning “if (you) had invited.”
 • "나는 갔을 것입니다" comes from 가다 (“to go”). “갔을 것이다” is a construction that expresses what would have been done (in this case, “I would have gone”). The subject 나는 (“I”) marks who the action applies to.

2. Tips to remember:
 • In Korean, conditionals are often formed by taking the past form of a verb and adding -다면 (or -었/았으면 for counterfactual conditions). Remember that the condition comes first, followed by a comma before the result clause.
 • For expressing “would have” or “might have” done something, the structure -(았/었)을 것이다 is useful. It can be thought of as “it would be that…” converting a simple past action into a hypothetical result.
 • Notice that particles (like 이/가 for the subject and 를 for the object) clearly mark the roles of different elements in the sentence.

3. Alternate ways to say “If you had invited me, I would have gone”:
 • 당신이 나를 초대했더라면, 나는 갔을 텐데.
  – Romanized: Dangsini nareul chodaehaetdeoramyeon, naneun gasseul tende.
 • 네가 나를 초대했더라면, 나는 갔을 거야.
  – Romanized: Nega nareul chodaehaetdeoramyeon, naneun gasseul geoya.

4. Romanized version of the original sentence:
 • Dangsinina-reul chodaehaetdamyeon, naneun gasseul geosimnida.

Each form expresses the idea that if the invitation had taken place, the action of going would have occurred, but with slight differences in formality and nuance.
