的话 (de huà) is a particle that can be put at the end of a phrase to express a condition, a little bit like "if". It can be used independently, or with 如果, both meaning "if".
- 如果 你 去 的话，帮 我 跟 她 问 好。

- 如果 你 不 忙 的话，可以 帮 我 联系 客户 吗？
的话 can also be used to introduce a topic which the speaker wants to go on and comment on:
