Question about Korean
So I just realised the song lyrics of a song I've been listening to a lot lately say "니가 오는 날가찌 더 나는 기다릴 텐데" which I know roughly translates to "I'll wait until the day you come"
But I've really been struggling to understand the meaning of "텐데" in this context and no pages explaining this grammar really helped me understand it so far.
Can anyone explain it to me?

"if some AA condition is allowed, I would do BB" in this sentence, "I would do" means 할 텐데.
"만약 여건(some condition)이 허락한다면 난 BB를 할 텐데"

~라면 ~할텐데 is a common phrase. but 텐데 has hiding meaning that the condition seems like hardly made.
만약 니가 돌아온다면 나는 기다릴텐데.. (그러나 너는 돌아오지 않을것 같아)

the things that you understand is right .~텐데= ~ㄹ테다(ㄹ 'will' or 'be going to' particle, 터 sure ,assume+ㅣsubject or predicating particle 다)i will do something+ㄴforming adjective suffix+(그런)데 by the way or on the contrary or but
i will do something ,but i couldn't or might not do it for some reason in the future

@noidea123 So in this case it's kind of like "I'm kind of pretty sure I will do it" to sum it up in one sentence?
- Korean
you're right 99% will do it 1% might not do it
