Descompondrías

Descompondrías is the second-person singular conditional form of the Spanish verb descomponer. The verb descomponer means to decompose, to break down, or to spoil. Therefore, "descompondrías" translates to "you would decompose," "you would break down," or "you would spoil." This conditional tense is used to express hypothetical situations or probabilities in the past or present.

For example, one might say "Si no tuvieras cuidado, la comida se descompondrías rápidamente" which means "If you weren't careful, the food would spoil quickly." This sentence uses "descompondrías" to describe a potential outcome that is dependent on a condition. Another usage could be in a hypothetical scenario about a machine: "El motor se descompondrías si no lo mantuvieras adecuadamente" meaning "The engine would break down if you didn't maintain it properly." The verb's root, "componer," means to compose or put together, so its opposite, "descomponer," signifies the act of taking apart or falling into disarray.
