Querríais

Querríais is the second person plural form of the conditional mood of the Spanish verb querer, used with the subject vosotros. The form expresses hypothetical or conditional desire and is characteristic of dialects that use vosotros, primarily in Spain. In many Latin American varieties, the same meaning is conveyed with ustedes querrían.

The stem of querer changes in the conditional to querr-, an irregular development that also appears in other conditional forms: yo querría, tú querrías, él querría, nosotros querríamos, vosotros querríais, ellos querrían. The accent on í marks the stressed syllable in the second-person plural ending.

Usage notes: querríais is commonly used to pose polite offers or to describe what you all would want under certain conditions, for example, ¿Qué querríais comer? ("What would you all like to eat?") or ¿Querríais acompañarnos? ("Would you all like to join us?"). It contrasts with queríais, the imperfect indicative meaning "you all wanted" in the past, and with querríais as a hypothetical, not a simple past action.

Dialectal considerations: because vosotros is standard in Spain but not in many other Spanish-speaking regions, the same idea is often expressed with ustedes querrían in Latin America. Grammatically, querríais is still the correct second-person plural conditional form in varieties that retain vosotros.

Related terms: the present tense quiero/quieres/quiere, the imperfect quería, and the imperfect subjunctive pudiera/quisiéramos interact with quiero. Querer remains an irregular verb with notable stem changes in multiple tenses.
