if it is possible
Polite, formal expression used to preface a request or suggestion, equivalent to できれば or 可能であれば but more literary and humble. Often seen in business or official contexts.
If it is possible, I would appreciate it if you could attend next week's meeting.
If possible, I would be grateful if you could reply early.
Standard kanji spelling for this polite expression.
Variant spelling with 成る written out.
Rarely used kanji form with 可く for べく.
Derived from the humble prefix 相 (あい) + なる (to become) + べく (archaic adverbial form of べし, indicating possibility or obligation) + は (topic particle). The exact historical development is uncertain, but it functions as a set phrase meaning 'if it is possible'.
