1. If the structure is "Scond, - {V / Adj}inf.nonpast (deshd 1 dard} ni,"
the entire sentence expresses the subjunctive past (i.e., supposition that
is counter to the current situation) as in Exs.(a), (b), (d), (e) and (f).
"Scond, - {V /Adj}inf.past {deshd l dam} ni" expresses the subjunc-
tive past perfect (i.e., supposition that is counter to the past situation) as
in KS(A) and Ex.(c). In both the subjunctive past and the past perfect,
the entire sentence expresses the speaker's regret. But if the subject of
the Scond is the second or third person, it expresses the speaker's sym-
pathy for the second or third person. If Scond is not there, as in KS(B),
Exs.(g) and (h), the entire sentence expresses sympathy.
2. The sentence-final particle ni always follows deshd / dard.
"Scond, - {V / Adj }inf (deshd / dard}" can be rephrased as "Scond, - {V /
Adj} infnoni," as shown in [I] and [2]. (6 noni (DBJG: 33 1-35))
