倘若/若⋯⋯,⋯⋯

倘若/若 (if/if it were)

Explanation

倘若 and 若 are conjunctions meaning "if" or "if it were", used to put forth an assumption or condition, usually in writing or more formal contexts. The structure "倘若/若 + condition, + result" expresses a hypothetical cause-effect relationship. 若 is more formal than 倘若, and both are equivalent to 如果 but are less used in everyday conversation.
