Not sure how to translate this

Question

Hi, how would you say "Thing you wish you had known, before you came"? Maybe something like "Cosas que deseas que hubieras sabido, antes de volviera"? Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi, I would say "Las cosas que desearías haber sabido antes de venir/ volver".

Answer 2

Something like

Ojalá hubieras sabido estas cosas antes de que llegaras.

I think the subjunctive always follows a Ojalá statement. - kenwilliams, Jul 18, 2012

Thaks Ken but I was aware of that. I was referring to antes de que + llegaras. Was that correct? - Eddy, Jul 18, 2012

Oops. I misread the question. - Eddy, Jul 18, 2012

Not sure about antes de que. - kenwilliams, Jul 18, 2012
