podríais

Podríais is a Spanish verb form derived from poder. It is the second-person plural conditional mood for vosotr@s, corresponding to "you could" or "you would be able" in English. In contexts that assume a condition or express polite requests, podíais is used to address a group informally in Spain. In Latin American Spanish, where the vosotros form is uncommon, the equivalent is usually ustedes podrían.

Morphology and usage notes: Podríais is formed from the conditional stem podr- plus the ending -íais, with the accent marking the syllable as in other conditional forms (podría, podrías, podríamos, podríais, podrían). The imperfect indicative form for vosotros is podíais (you all were able to), which is distinct in both meaning and spelling from podríais.

Common uses: Podríais appears in hypothetical or contingent situations, as in "Podríais hacerlo si quisierais" (You could do it if you wanted). It is also used for polite requests or offers directed at a group, for example, "Podríais pasarme la sal, por favor?" It conveys possibility under a condition or a courteous tone without implying obligation.

Regional variation: The form is standard in Spain with the vosotros pronoun. In many Latin American varieties, where vosotros is not used, the corresponding forms are ustedes podrían or ustedes podrían hacer algo. Podríais thus functions as a marker of formality and regional usage rather than a universal equivalent of other plural forms of poder.
