conditional
의미: Subject to one or more conditions being met; not absolute. In grammar, the conditional mood expresses hypothetical situations using 'would' or 'could.'
Conditional is used across many domains. A 'conditional offer' (such as a university offer) depends on meeting certain requirements. A 'conditional sentence' in grammar contains an 'if' clause: 'If it rains, I would stay inside.' In law, a 'conditional discharge' is a type of sentence. In computing, a 'conditional statement' (if/else) controls program flow based on whether a condition is true. The opposite of conditional is 'unconditional' — given without any requirements.
