Tentang さえ〜ば

As a set expression, さえ~ば is a combination of the adverbial particle さえ, and the conjunction particle . It is used to highlight assumption, and presents (A) as a extreme limitation that is required to achieve (B), hypothetically. This structure may be translated as 'if only (A), then (B)', 'the only thing needed for (B) is (A)', or 'as long as (A), (B)'.

さえ may be grouped with any word, but will require the conjunctive form, or て form before it when grouped with verbs. It also regularly appears after other particles, forming a dual-particle meaning.

This use of さえ is an example of limit, with (A) being a hypothetical limit presented by the particle. It is also possible to see さえ with other hypothetical indicators (such as たら), but is quite rare in modern Japanese, as さえ~ば is considered a set pattern.

This limitation is also sometimes referred to as a 'stipulation', or 'condition'.

        Hey, sorry for a long time it took to answer, I have noticed the post today

        I have added it as an alternative answer. Basically, 暇 can be also treated not only as な adjective but also as a noun.

        Cheers

        It would be great to have some examples added so that each structure point has at least one example. Some examples for adjective structures are missing right now, and I don’t see them often enough in the wild to feel comfortable with them just yet.

        Is てさえいれば a counterpart to ている? It’s not quite clear from the write-up. What is the logic behind すれば, いれば, あれば in general?
