Haríais

Haríais is the second-person plural form of the Spanish verb hacer in the conditional mood. It corresponds to the English "you would do" or "you would make" and is used when speaking about hypothetical actions or events involving the vosotros form.

Formation and usage notes: Haríais is formed by taking the infinitive har- (from hacer) and adding the conditional ending -íais. The acute accent on í marks the stressed syllable. This form is characteristic of the voseo of Spain, where the pronoun vosotros is standard. In many Spanish-speaking regions outside Spain, where ustedes replaces vosotros, the corresponding conditional form is harían for ustedes.

Grammatical role: The conditional mood expresses actions that would occur under certain conditions, often introduced by context clauses with hypothetical or potential scenarios. Haríais frequently appears in sentences about plans, possibilities, or advice offered in a hypothetical sense, typically with a vosotros subject.

Regional variation: Because el vosotros is not commonly used in most of Latin America, haríais is less common outside Spain. In those regions, speakers usually use harían (for ustedes) or other constructions to convey similar meanings. The underlying meaning remains the same, but the verb form shifts to align with the second-person plural pronoun used in the region.

Examples:

- Si tuvierais más tiempo, haríais un viaje. (If you all had more time, you would take a trip.)

- ¿Qué haríais si apareciera una oportunidad así? (What would you all do if such an opportunity appeared?)

- Haríais bien en no olvidar la cita. (You would do well not to forget the appointment.)
