кошки: if only
Кошки дирӯз ҳамин хел мешуд.
If only yesterday had been like this.
Кошки ин сухан аз даҳонаш намебаромад!
If only those words hadn’t come out of his mouth!
Кошки медонистам.
I wish I had known.
Bonus:
Кошки could also be translated as “I wish…” or “O that…”
Кошки can also be a response to something that sounds too good to be true. For example, somebody says that they have heard that there will be no snow this winter. You reply – “Кошки”, “If only”.
