comunicaríamos

Comunicaríamos is the first-person plural form of the conditional mood of the Spanish verb comunicar, meaning “we would communicate.” It expresses a hypothetical or contingent action and is used to describe what a group would do under certain conditions. It can appear in main clauses or in conjunction with si-clauses to discuss possible actions in the future or under imagined circumstances.

Form and usage: The form is regular for an -ar verb. The stem comunicar plus the endings -íamos yields comunicaríamos for nosotros/as. This form denotes a potential action rather than a definite one and is common in planning, proposals, or polite or cautious statements about what a group would do if conditions were different.

Etymology: comunicar comes from Latin communicare, meaning to share, impart, or make common. The sense of exchanging information or transmitting messages is central to the verb’s meaning in modern Spanish, and the conditional form mirrors that hypothetical, conditional intent.

Examples:

- Si tuviéramos más recursos, comunicaríamos el plan a todos los empleados.

- En caso de incertidumbre, comunicaríamos nuestra decisión a las partes afectadas.

- Si se confirmara la información, comunicaríamos el resultado a los clientes a la mayor brevedad.
