norsque

Norsque is a French word that translates to "if" or "when" in English. It is used to introduce a hypothetical or conditional clause, similar to the English "if" or "when." The term "norsque" is derived from the Latin word "nisi," which means "unless" or "except." In modern French, "norsque" is less commonly used compared to "si" (if) or "quand" (when), but it can still be found in literary and formal contexts. The use of "norsque" often conveys a sense of exception or a counterfactual condition. For example, "Je ne partirai pas, norsque tu ne viendras pas" translates to "I will not leave, unless you come." This phrase emphasizes the condition that the speaker will leave only if the other person does not come.
