Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '若 (ruò)' is a conditional word used to express 'if' or 'in case' in English. It's a formal expression often observed in written texts or speeches, rather than colloquial conversation. It's used to present a hypothetical situation or condition whose realization is dependent on another event.
