Interpretarían

Interpretarían is the third-person plural form of the Spanish verb interpretar in the conditional simple. It expresses what they or you all would interpret, or actions that would occur under a hypothetical condition. The conditional is used to convey hypothetical situations, polite requests, or statements reported in indirect speech.

Etymology and senses: interpretar originates from Latin interpretari, through Spanish. The verb has multiple senses, including to explain the meaning of something (interpretar un texto), to translate or render (interpretar una norma), and to perform or portray a role (interpretar a un actor un papel). In all cases, interpretar is regular in the conditional, so the stem interpretar- combines with the endings -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían. Therefore, interpretarían corresponds to the form for ellos/ellas/ustedes.

Usage: interpretarían appears in conditional clauses or in reported statements. It often follows si clauses (si... + imperfecto del subjuntivo) to indicate what would happen, or it can express a proposed or polite hypothetical. Example: Si recibieran más datos, interpretarían los resultados con mayor precisión. Another: Los investigadores interpretarían las señales dentro del marco teórico propuesto. In narrative or dialogue, it can also convey that a group would interpret or perform something under certain conditions.

Notes: The accent on í in -rían marks the stressed syllable, as is typical for regular conditional forms in -ar verbs.
