Erklärung
Form: imperfect subjunctive of haber (hubiera/hubiese) + participle: hubiera dicho, hubiésemos llegado.
Its flagship structure is the third conditional: si hubiera estudiado, habría aprobado. In speech, hubiera often replaces the conditional perfect in the main clause too: si hubiera estudiado, hubiera aprobado — both are heard everywhere.
Alone with ojalá it voices pure regret: ojalá hubiera venido — 'if only he had come'.
