Long explanation:
In Mandarin Chinese, '的话 (de huà)' is a conjunction used to indicate a conditional or hypothetical situation. It can be translated to 'if' in English. When '的话' is used, it usually comes at the end of the clause that represents the condition. Therefore, the structure of the sentence typically is 'Condition + 的话, Outcome'.
