English Translation
The balloon was blown up so big, it almost popped!
Could someone explain the use of the Konjunktiv here?
…, dass er fast geplatzt wäre!
The Konjunktiv 2 can be used to express imaginary situations. In this case: the balloon was inflated to be so big, that it’s easy to imagine it could’ve exploded (even though it didn’t).
