Looking through my old school stuff I found a sentence structure that expresses "hope or regret about something that has not (yet) been realized". The construction is ~ば/たら/と~たい/のに/よかった/ですが/ですけれど etc. Ex.: もし私がお金持ちだったら、世界一周旅行に行けるのに。=> If (only) I were rich, I could travel the world... *sigh* I only found ~ばよかった that goes in a similar direction, but it doesn't seem quite right. Maybe an extension of it? Where can I find an appropriate place for my sentence? Thanks
