achèteriez

Achèteriez is the French verb form of acheter (to buy) in the conditional present, 2e personne du pluriel (vous achèteriez). It corresponds to the English “you would buy” and can refer to either a plural “you” or a formal singular address. This form is used to express hypothetical actions, polite requests, or tentative statements.

Morphology and usage

The conditional present uses the stem achèter- for acheter, with the endings -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient. Therefore vous achèteriez means you would buy. The spelling includes an è to preserve the correct pronunciation of the stem before the ending. Achèteriez is often found in conditional clauses, polite questions, or suggestions.

Examples

- Si vous achèteriez ce produit, vous pourriez bénéficier d’une réduction. (If you would buy this product, you could benefit from a discount.)

- Acheteriez-vous ce livre si le prix était plus bas ? (Would you buy this book if the price were lower?)

Related forms

Achèteriez is related to other persons: j’achèterais, tu achèterais, il/elle achèterait, nous achèterions, ils achèteraient. It contrasts with the future simple achèterai (I will buy), the imperfect achattais/achètais, and the present indicative achète/achetеs.

Etymology and notes

Derived from acheter, the stem changes to achèter- in the future and conditional to accommodate the verb’s irregularity. The form is standard in written and spoken French, though in casual speech speakers may opt for the less formal construction using other mood or tense depending on context.
