abrirías

Abrirías is the second-person singular form of the present conditional of the Spanish verb abrir, meaning “you would open.” It expresses an action that would occur under a condition or, in some contexts, serves as a polite or soft way to make a request. The form is used with the subject tú (you).

Conjugation (tú) and related forms

- yo abriría

- tú abrirías

- él/ella/usted abriría

- nosotros abriríamos

- vosotros abriríais

- ellos/ellas/ustedes abrirían

Abrirías is a regular formation for an -ir verb in the conditional mood, and the accent falls on í. Note that this form can be confused with abrías (tú abrías), which is the imperfect indicative form of abrir; context usually clarifies the meaning since both forms are spelled similarly but convey different tenses.

Usage and examples

- Hypothetical or conditional clauses: Si pudieras, abrirías la tienda más temprano. (If you could, you would open the store earlier.)

- Polite or softened requests: ¿Abrirías la ventana, por favor? (Would you open the window, please?)

- General statements about potential actions: Tú abrirías la caja si supieras la combinación. (You would open the box if you knew the combination.)

Etymology and notes

Abrirías derives from abrir (to open) plus the conditional endings. The verb abrir comes from Latin aperīre. In practice, abrirías is common in everyday Spanish for expressing conditional actions or polite requests, and it forms part of a broader system of conditional and subjunctive moods used with the pronoun tú.
