Impondrían

Impondrían is the conditional simple form of the Spanish verb imponer in the third person plural (ellos, ellas) or the second person plural formal (ustedes). It translates as “they would impose” or “you all would impose” and is used to express actions that would occur under certain conditions, or to make polite or tentative statements.

Form and usage notes: The conditional stem is impondr- and the endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían. Therefore forms such as impondría, impondrías, impondría, impondríamos, impondríais, impondrían are regular for this verb. Impondrían is typically found in hypothetical contexts, often in si-clauses or in statements about possible outcomes.

Examples:

- Si recibieran la aprobación, impondrían nuevas reglas en la compañía.

- Las autoridades impondrían sanciones si no se cumplen las normas.

- Ustedes impondrían límites de velocidad si la situación lo exigiera.

Semantic notes: Imponer means “to impose” in the sense of establishing rules, requirements, or burdens. The conditional form imposes a hypothetical or contingent force rather than a definite action. It is distinct from related forms such as the present tense impongo or the imperfect subjunctive form, which convey different temporal or modal nuances.
