arreglaríamos

Arreglaríamos is a Spanish verb form derived from the infinitive arreglar, meaning "to fix, repair, or make better". The form arreglaríamos is the first‑person plural conditional tense, corresponding to "we would fix" or "we would repair" in English. It is used to express a hypothetical action that could occur under certain conditions, often accompanied by a condition word such as si (if). For instance, "Arreglaríamos el coche si tuviéramos tiempo" translates to "We would fix the car if we had time".

The root verb arreglar originates from the Latin verb arrectāre (to rise up, straighten), with the Spanish suffix -ar indicating an action verb. Historically, it has maintained a primary sense of correcting or realigning objects, now extended metaphorically to ideas, finances, or systems. The conditional mood, indicated by the suffix‑íamos, is formed by adding the conditional endings to the verb stem. In this case, the stem is arregl- and the suffix is -aríamos.

In everyday usage, arreglaríamos can appear in polite requests ("¿Arreglaríamos este error?") or in speculative statements about future possibilities subject to conditions. In written Spanish, it is often found in planning contexts, such as business proposals or project proposals, where conditional statements outline potential actions. The phrase retains the same morphological structure across formal and informal registers, making it versatile for various communicative contexts.
