但愿 (dàn yuàn) — to wish, if only (expressing a desire for something to happen or to have happened)
Definition
但愿 expresses a wistful wish for something the speaker cannot control — 'if only… / I wish…' — often about an unlikely or unreal outcome. Unlike 愿 or 祝 (which hope for good things for others), 但愿 is personal and slightly resigned.
verb
to wishif only (expressing a desire for something to happen or to have happened)
