ふりがな:

This page is a hub for the hypothetical form ()(てい)(けい). It describes how to conjugate verbs and adjectives to their hypothetical form. The hypothetical form is a kind of stem form of both kinds of word, which can be used to compose a conditional form by appending .

(けい)(よう)(どう)() and nouns

Append であれば to the adjective.

Drop the (from the attributive form) and append けれ.
