Averiamos

Averiamos is the plain-text representation of a Spanish verb form derived from averiar, which means to damage or to render something inoperative. In standard Spanish orthography, the verb forms are written with diacritics as averiábamos (we were damaging) or averíamos (we would damage). The non-accented form averiamos can appear in texts that omit accents, but it is not treated as a separate lexical entry.

Grammatical notes and usage

Averiar is a regular -ar verb. The form averiábamos corresponds to the first-person plural imperfect indicative (nosotros), used to describe ongoing or habitual damage in the past. The form averíamos corresponds to the first-person plural conditional (nosotros), used for hypothetical or dependent scenarios such as “we would damage.” The non-accented averiamos may appear in informal contexts or in digital texts where diacritics are omitted.

Examples

Averiábamos la maquinaria durante las pruebas para evaluar su resistencia. This demonstrates the imperfect sense: we were damaging the machinery. In a hypothetical context, one might encounter averíamos: “Si no se revisaran las piezas, averíamos el sistema,” though the exact construction can vary with tense and mood.

Relation to other terms

Related words include avería (a breakdown or fault), averiado (damaged or faulty), and averiarse (to become damaged or to malfunction). The verb and its derivatives are commonly used in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance contexts.

Notes

Averiamos in non-accented text is typically a misspelling or a simplification of averiábamos or averíamos; standard dictionaries list the accented forms as the correct spellings for those tenses.
