de parcă

Conjunction

 * 1)  as though, as if

Usage notes
The difference between and  is mainly grammatical:  is a conjunctional phrase in itself, whereas  is an adverb connected to the previous sentence without any conjunction (asyndeton). Additionally, the use of the latter in contemporary non-poetic language is more unchiseled and informal than the former. Both are most fittingly followed by a clause in the conditional mood, but this is often forgone colloquially.
