atravessaríeis

atravessaríeis is the second-person plural form of the simple conditional mood (condicional simples) of the Portuguese verb atravessar, meaning “you (plural) would cross.” It represents a hypothetical or prospective action in a conditional clause and is formed by taking the infinitive atravessar and adding the normal endings of the conditional for -ar verbs: eu atravessaria, tu atravessarias, ele atravessaria, nós atravessaríamos, vós atravessaríeis, eles atravessaríam.

In modern usage, this form is most commonly associated with the use of the archaic or regionally preserved pronoun vós, which is still found in European Portuguese and in certain literary or formal registers. In Brazilian Portuguese, the form is generally replaced by the corresponding periphrastic or periphrastic-like constructions (for example, using vocês atravessariam) rather than the vós-based ending. Despite its relative rarity outside specific dialects or written styles, atravessaríeis remains a correct and recognizable conjugation of the verb.

Usage notes: the condicional simples expresses actions that would occur under certain conditions in the present or future. It frequently appears in hypothetical clauses introduced by ifs (se) or in reported speech to convey potential outcomes. The form atravessaríeis, being tied to the second-person plural with vós, is chiefly encountered in contexts where that pronoun is used or imitated for stylistic reasons.

Example: Se vós atravessaríeis a ponte sob a chuva, chegaríeis ao outro lado antes do pôr do sol. This illustrates the typical conditional mood in a hypothetical scenario involving the second-person plural.
