permitiríais

Permitiríais is the second-person plural form of the verb permitir in the Spanish conditional mood (condicional simple), used with the subject vosotros. The form is built from the infinitive permitir plus the ending -íais, with an accent on the í to indicate the stressed syllable: permitiríais.

Usage and meaning: The conditional mood expresses actions that would happen under certain conditions, or polite possibilities. Vosotros is the familiar plural subject commonly used in Spain; in many Spanish-speaking regions, ustedes replaces vosotros, and the corresponding form would be permitirían. Permitiríais therefore translates roughly as "you all would permit" or "you all would allow."

Contextual notes: Permitiríais can appear in hypothetical clauses introduced by si, or in requests or proposals presented in a tentative or courteous way. It is appropriate in formal writing or dialogue among speakers who use the vosotros form.

Regional distinctions: In Latin American Spanish, where the vosotros form is rarely used, lectores would typically employ ustedes permitirían to express the same idea. The verb form permitiríais remains standard within varieties that maintain the vosotros paradigm.

Examples:

- Si os pidieran permiso, vosotros permitiríais la entrada sin problemas.

- En ese protocolo, vosotros permitiríais la salida de las personas sólo en caso de emergencia.

Etymology and related forms: permitiríais derives from permitir, sharing its regular conditional endings with other -ir verbs in the vosostros form. The pronunciation emphasizes the accent on the í to reflect the conditional stress pattern.
