precisaría

Precísaría is the conditional form of the Spanish verb precisar. The verb has two main meanings in Spanish: to specify or to require/need. In the conditional, precisaría can express either "I would specify" or "I would need/require," depending on the context and the construction.

In the sense of requiring, precisaría often pairs with de to indicate what is needed: "La revisión precisaría de más tiempo" means "The revision would require more time." "El informe precisaría de datos adicionales" means "The report would need additional data." In the sense of specifying, precisaría can be used with a direct object to mean that someone would specify or state precisely: "La cláusula precisaría los términos" or "El contrato precisaría las condiciones," for example "La cláusula precisaría la hora de entrega." It is also common to see constructions like "precisar de," especially when emphasizing a necessity: "Para terminar el formulario, precisaría de ayuda" meaning "I would need help to finish the form."

Grammatically, precisaría is the first- or third-person singular form of the conditional of precisar (yo precisaría, él precisaría, usted precisaría). The verb shares a semantic field with palabras como preciso, precisión y with cognates such as French préciser. Etymologically, it is related to the idea of making something clear or exact.

Notes: beyond the conditional, other tenses and moods of precisar cover similar ideas—needing or specifying—so precise usage depends on context. Distinguish between the conditional (would need / would specify) and the imperfect subjunctive precisara, which has a different meaning.
