Abriríais

Abriríais is the second-person plural conditional form of the Spanish verb abrir, meaning “you all would open.” It is formed from the infinitive abrir plus the conditional ending -íais and carries an accent on the í.

Usage and meaning: The conditional expresses hypothetical or contingent actions. Abriríais is used with the vosotros subject, primarily in Spain and other communities that use the vosotros form. It can appear in main clauses or in si-clauses that express hypothetical situations, for example: Si tuvierais las llaves, abriríais la puerta. Translation: If you all had the keys, you would open the door.

Regional and dialect variation: In most of Latin America, where the pronoun ustedes is used for the second person plural, the equivalent form is abrirían (you all would open). Abriríais remains characteristic of contexts that employ the vosotors form, and may be found in formal writing or traditional speech in Spain, as well as in literature or historical texts.

Etymology and morphology: The form derives from the verb abrir (to open) and the regular Spanish conditional endings for -ir verbs. The stress falls on the marked syllable, producing abrí- rí- ais, with the accent on the í to indicate the correct pronunciation.
