Konjunktiv II expresses hypothetical, counterfactual, and polite situations. For strong/irregular verbs, the K2 form is built from the Präteritum stem + umlaut + same endings as Präteritum: sein → wäre (war + umlaut), haben → hätte (hatte + umlaut), kommen → käme, gehen → ginge. For weak verbs (whose K2 is identical to Präteritum and thus ambiguous), use würde + infinitiv: Ich würde das kaufen. Modals have distinct K2 forms: könnte (could), müsste (would have to), dürfte (might), sollte, wollte. Use: conditional "if-then" (Wenn ich Geld hätte, würde ich reisen), polite requests (Könnten Sie mir helfen?), wishes (Ich wäre gern jünger).
