Long explanation:
The Mandarin Chinese word '如果 (rúguǒ)' functions similar to the English word 'if', and is used to express a condition or hypothesis that is required for the result of the sentence to occur. It is a conjunction that often precedes a clause, indicating a speculative condition that could influence the outcome of the event or situation being described. It is often used with 就 (jiù) to indicate the result of the condition.
