Long explanation:
The Mandarin Chinese phrase '只要 (zhǐyào)' is a conjunction used to state a condition, and it essentially means 'as long as' in English. It leads a clause that sets a prerequisite for the main clause. If the condition set by '只要' is met, then the action or state in the main clause can occur or be true.
