if I knew what I know now


Explanation:
Benim de aklıma ilk gelen o, ama "then" olmadan. Daha akıcı oluyor, en azından günlük konuşma dilinde böyle kullanıyorum.

Düzeltme/İlave: "If I had known better"

Bkz. "If I had known better, I wouldn't have hired Rich in the first place."
Bkz. "My head knows that I did what I thought was best at the time and that if I had known better I would have done better."

agree  Özden Arıkan: bence ingilizce olarak en "doğal akanı" bu. "if only" kalıbının da orijinalinin vurgusuna çok yaklaştığına inanıyorum. geriye tek alternatif birebir çevirmek ve bizim türkçede böyle bir deyim vardır diye eklemek kalıyor :-)
