Japanese Language
「Particles」

「Sae・さえ」

1.”Even."
NOTE: This usage is similar to de mo, but is more emphatic.

Examples:
その問題は先生でさえ答えられなかった。
Sono mondai wa sensei de sae kotaerarenakatta.
Even the teacher couldn't answer the test question.

そんな簡単なことは、子供でさえ知っていますよ。
Sonna kantan na koto wa, kodomo de sae shitte imasu yo.
Even a child knows such a simple thing!
「A mere child would know something as simple as that.」

2.In the form sae ... -tara or sae ... -ba, implies that if something additional is (had been) done, a positive outcome will occur (would have occurred): "if only."

Examples:
もう5分さえあったら、飛行機に間に合ったのに...
Mō go-fu sae attara, hikōki ni ma-ni-atta no ni...
If we had only five more minutes, we would have been on time for the flight.

健ちゃんは頭がいいんですから、勉強さえすればいい大学に入れますよ。
Ken-chan wa atama ga ii-n desu kara, benkyō sae sureba ii daigakeu ni hairemasu yo.
Ken has a good head on his shoulders, so if he only studies, he'll be able to get into a good university.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
