-Tara<br />

This usage is extremely common because it's simple, fast,<br />

and versatile (it can<br />

mean either "if" <strong>or</strong> "when"). The -tara f<strong>or</strong>m is just the simple<br />

past-tense verb f<strong>or</strong>m<br />

(-ta <strong>or</strong> -da) plus -ra. So iku becomes ittara and yomu<br />

becomes yondara. -I<br />

adjectives use their simple past, while -na ajectives and<br />

nouns take dattara (the simple past f<strong>or</strong>m of da).<br />

However, this f<strong>or</strong>m also has some subtlety. It's imp<strong>or</strong>tant to<br />

understand that-tara expresses completed action. The<br />

dependent clause has finished occurring bef<strong>or</strong>e whatever<br />

happens in the independent clause. (Thus, it is similar to<br />

the -ta to<strong>ki</strong> f<strong>or</strong>m described above).<br />

Furtherm<strong>or</strong>e, the meaning differs somewhat depending on<br />

the tense of the final verb. A -Tara, B -mashita (past tense)<br />

means "A occurred, then B happened." It is translated as<br />

"when." F<strong>or</strong> example, Mado o aketara, samuku narimashita<br />

means, "when I opened the window, I got cold." But A -tara,<br />

B -masu (present/future tense) means that if <strong>or</strong> when A<br />

occurs, B will occur. It is translated as "when" in cases<br />

where it is reasonably certain that A will occur, and "if"<br />

otherwise. F<strong>or</strong> example, Mado o aketara, samuku narimasu<br />

means "if you open the window, I'll get cold" and kuraku<br />

nattara, kaeranakereba narimasen means "when it gets<br />

dark, I have to return home."<br />

A final note about -tara is that it is preferred in the case of<br />

neutral <strong>or</strong> accidental happenings over the other f<strong>or</strong>ms<br />

described here. So if you say Kaigi ni ittara, tomodachi ni<br />

aimashita, it means that you met your friend at the meeting,<br />

and it was either accidental (in which case that sentence<br />

can start a conversation-- "Hey!<br />

I saw Joan at the meeting!") <strong>or</strong> neutral (in which case that<br />

sentence answers the question, "When did you meet your<br />

friend?").<br />
