Profesjonalny nauczyciel"I would like" in a conditional construction.
"I would like to buy this hat."
Can I transform this sentence into an imaginary statement/offer this way?
- Would you like to buy this hat?
- If you gave me a 10% discount, I would have liked to buy this hat!
- Alright! deal!
Is this correct?
"If he had given me a 10% discount, I would have liked to buy this hat. But he didn't change the price."
Thanks a lot!

"would like" isn't a conditional construction by itself, it's a more polite version of "want".
if you need 2nd conditional in your dialogue, then don't use would + perfect infinitive, it makes the conditional mixed, it should be "- If you gave me a 10% discount, I would buy this hat!"
And your last example is 3rd conditional, you should use "like" there too:
""If he had given me a 10% discount, I would have bough this hat. But he didn't change the price."

Thank you, sir!
"If you gave me a 10% discount, I would have liked to buy this hat!" does this sentence sound strange? How would you formulate it?

For the last part, "If he had given me a 10% discount, I woukd have bought the hat" 3rd cond.
Woukd like to buy it is not really one of the conditionals.
