ماذا لو كنت مكانه/في حاله/وضعه


Explanation:
ماذا لو كنت مكانه/في حاله أو حالته أو ضعه أو في شأنه، إذ/حيث كان مضطرًا لكذا وكذا
المقصود نقل تصور تخيلي للسامع كأنه يعيش حالة كذا أو وضع معين أو صورة بطريق الحكاية
ونقل الصور يأتى في اللغة العربية بعبارة المسرودة أو النثر المقفّى بعبارة (ماذا لو كنت مكانه) فتثير في نفس القارئ أو السامع صورة الإحساس بأنه يعيش في هذا الوضع أو الإشفاق عليه.
