What is the difference in usage and meaning of:

  1. 行ったらいいのに =V/conditional and
  2. 行けたらいいのに = V/potential/conditional

Can both be translated as "If only I could go..."? Thanks!

`行ったらいいのに` is a suggestion, translated as "Why won't you ...". `行けたらいいのに` is
translated as "If only I could go...", as you said.
