Long explanation:
'~(으)시면 [(eu)simyeon]' is a grammar point in Korean used to express a hypothetical situation or a condition. It falls under the broad 'if' conditional conjugation in Korean. It is used to express a polite form of 'if you' or 'when'. It involves the subject-action-object pattern where the action or the verb are conjugated accordingly followed by 시면 to form a conditional situation or proposal.
