What is the difference between 如果 and 要是? If I search for the meaning they both mean if. I just saw this: 钱包是他自己忘的, 如果他回来找, 你给他也就行了。  要是他不回来, 你就自己拿着。

如果和要是, I think the meaning is almost same, when I say one sentence 如果......I can replace it 要是....., but 如果we always use in wrotten and 要是 more in spoken, and more stronger desire by someone.

Actually no difference. But "如果“ can be used in formal situation and written form. "要是” used in spoken form。
