À propos de ばいい

In contrast to ばよかった, which is used for expressing regret about something that someone wishes had been done, ばいい highlights that the speaker is hoping for a particular result, in relation to something that has not happened yet. This translates as 'It'd be good if (A)'.

To use ばいい, add the conjunction particle ば, to the end of the normal verb conjugation used for ば, and then attach the い-Adjective, いい.

Although ばいい literally means 'if (A), it's good', it can also be used to give advice, and has a meaning that is similar to 'should (A)' in these situations. It is generally quite a soft way of giving advice.

Caution

ばいい may also be used when making statements about something that the speaker believes is not possible. In these cases, it is regularly paired with のに, and has the nuance of 'despite it being good if it were (A)'. This shows that the speaker thinks that (A) would be good, but is aware that (A) cannot/will not happen for some reason.

        Isn’t it just ~んです・のです (JLPT N5) | Bunpro, with な being necessary to link a noun 方.

        A simple point blank statement:

        悪いのは僕の方だ。

        With conviction/explanatory nuance:

        悪いのは僕の方なんだ。
        悪いのは僕の方なのです。

        With conviction, and explicitly giving a reason for the previous sentence:

        悪いのは僕の方なんだから。

        More plainly giving a reason:

        悪いのは僕の方だから。

        I seems like both だから and のだから versions are used plenty. Apologies if you were looking for something more specific!

        I have a question about this bunpro exercise
        明日と明後日も晴れるといいですね。(晴れる)
        bunrpo says はれるといい and はれたらいい is ok, but はればいい is not, why?
