Imperfect Subjunctive

The most miseworthy verb form in any language!!!!

Rarely used, and sometimes looks odd, but distinctive enough to be classy!

English - "Although I were hungry, I would not have eaten the badger."
French - "Quoique j'eusse faim, je n'aurais pas mangé le blaireau."
Italian - "Benché avessi fame, non andrai mangiato il tasso."
Latin - "Quamquam faminam haberem, non meles consumpsissem."
