(That is a change in word order and another an addition of the word "begin" except from the change melissenta already proposed)
Excuse my "yes" vote, it was with these exceptions :-) (That is, probably I should have voted "no" ) | | | 27 August 2008 20:51 | | | I thought and I agreed with Piagabriella. I changed my first version. | | | 27 August 2008 22:47 | | | And I thought a little bit more and I have changed mind a bit. Now I think "What if you won't love tomorrow" would be better (no "begin", but I would keep "tomorrow" in the end of the phrase). I am sorry (if I am a bit confusing...)!!! I think this is my final decision as to how I would have translated it. I had to think about this one for a while.

don't worry, take it easy
Btw,as far as I know after "if" "will" and "won't" can't be used. I consulted a dictionary and I found that Russian word "полюбить" may be translated in English like "come to love". | | | 28 August 2008 01:29 | | | Yes, you are right Guzel.
The possible negative forms for "you" (assuming that the verb to be used is "fall in love" are:
"What if you don't fall in love..."
"What if you didn't fall in love..."
"What if you hadn't fallen in love..." |
