начебто

As if, as though, that; like

начебто ви цього не знали — as if you did not know it

начебто він знав — as if he knew

начебто він не знає — as if he doesn't know

він начебто божевільний — he is like a madman (lunatic)

у вас такий вигляд, начебто ви не зрозуміли — you look as though you did not understand

кажуть, начебто він поїхав — it seems that he has gone away
