2. "-았/었으면 좋겠어요" (I wish... / I hope...)

Examples:
- 내일 날씨가 좋았으면 좋겠어요. → I wish the weather would be good tomorrow. (Stronger hope, less certainty)
- 그 사람이 나를 좋아했으면 좋겠어요. → I wish that person liked me. (Less likely to be true)
- 여행을 갔으면 좋겠어요. → I wish I could go on a trip. (Implies that you can’t go right now)
