	kfeto Number of messages: 953	ok i changed it a bit Wel it's in the 3rd person singular so it can't be: 'if only i were' it is also in the conditional tense hence the use of 'if only' turkish is genderless so 'it' can be substituted with he/she. I've heard this line in turkish often but in the first person with 'olsaM' and 'varsaM'(maybe the requester got it wrong) I don't know what you mean by inversion? @ ozlem: neyin bulbul olupda varmasini istiyor? acaba 'olsam' ve 'varsam' mi olmali?
