어휘

Hindi's second conditional (counterfactual) is ideal for polite negotiation — making offers, discussing scenarios, and proposing compromises.

Structure: अगर + subjunctive, तो + conditional

अगर आप यह शर्त मान लें, तो हम आगे बढ़ सकते हैं। — If you were to accept this condition, we could move forward.
अगर वेतन थोड़ा अधिक हो, तो मैं यह प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर सकता हूँ। — If the salary were a bit higher, I could accept this offer.

Subjunctive forms (verb root + ए/एँ):

Polite conditional responses:

Expressing a counter-offer:

The subjunctive in Hindi (मान लें, हो) signals politeness and hypothetical possibility — perfect for professional negotiations.

यह शर्त मान लें, तो हम आगे बढ़ सकते हैं।If you were to accept this condition, we could...
हमारा प्रस्ताव है कि वेतन बढ़ाया जाए।Our proposal is that the salary be increased.
क्या आप इस पर थोड़ा और विचार करेंगे?Would you consider this a little more?
मैं इसमें थोड़ी रियायत दे सकता हूँ।I can make a small concession on this.
हम दोनों के लिए यह फायदेमंद हो सकता है।This could be beneficial for both of us.

~~अगर आप यह शर्त मानते हैं, तो हम आगे बढ़ सकते हैं।~~
अगर आप यह शर्त मान लें, तो हम आगे बढ़ सकते हैं।
The second conditional (hypothetical) requires the subjunctive मान लें, not the habitual present मानते हैं, which describes a real/current fact.
~~अगर वेतन अधिक होता, तो मैं स्वीकार करता।~~
अगर वेतन थोड़ा अधिक हो, तो मैं यह प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर सकता हूँ।
होता/करता is the past counterfactual (third conditional). Use present subjunctive हो + सकता हूँ for a polite open hypothetical at B1.
~~हमारी तरफ प्रस्ताव यह है।~~
हमारी तरफ से एक प्रस्ताव यह है कि…
तरफ requires the postposition से: हमारी तरफ से. Also add एक before प्रस्ताव and complete with कि + clause.
