detestarías

Detestarías is a Spanish verb phrase, formed by combining the verb "detestar" (to detest, to hate) with the second-person singular conditional form "detestarías." This construction translates to "you would detest" or "you would hate." It is used to express a hypothetical situation where the speaker believes the listener would have a strong negative feeling towards something or someone. The conditional tense implies that this detestation is not a current reality but rather a potential outcome under certain circumstances. For example, one might say "Detestarías vivir en un lugar tan ruidoso" which means "You would detest living in such a noisy place." The phrase is often employed to emphasize the unpleasantness of a particular situation or to persuade someone by highlighting their imagined aversion to it. The subject of "detestarías" is "tú" (you, informal singular). The verb conjugation remains consistent regardless of the gender of the person being addressed.
