으라면

'If I had to pick…' / 'if told to'

-으라면 means 'if someone tells you to' — 아이브가 눈을 감으라면 감아야죠 'if Ive tells you to close your eyes, you close them.' Six of these eight lines pair it with 꼽다 'to count off on your fingers', giving the very common 꼽으라면 'if I had to name one': 내 주변의 신사를 한 명 꼽으라면 석훈이야 'if I had to name one gentleman I know, it's Suk-hoon.' That frame is a staple of interviews and rankings.
