recommanderiez

Recommanderiez is the French verb form that corresponds to the second-person plural in the present conditional tense of the verb recommander, meaning “you would recommend.” It is used to express hypothetical actions or to make polite or tentative suggestions directed at more than one person or at a single formal address.

The form is built from the infinitive recommander (to recommend) plus the conditional endings typical of -er verbs. For vous in the conditionnel présent, the ending is -riez, giving recommanderiez. The stem is recommand-, so the full form for all persons would be je recommanderais, tu recommanderais, il recommanderait, nous recommanderions, vous recommanderiez, ils recommanderaient.

Common uses include asking what someone would advise in a given situation or presenting a recommendation as a possibility rather than a definite action. For example: Que recommanderiez-vous pour un séjour à Paris? If you were to choose, what would you recommend for a trip to Paris? The form also appears in hypothetical clauses: Si vous cherchiez un livre, vous recommanderiez peut-être celui-ci.

Recommanderiez should be distinguished from related forms such as recommanderait (il/elle recommanderait) and recommanderaient (ils recommanderaient), as well as from the future semplice recommanderez. In everyday French, it signals politeness and conditional nuance rather than a straightforward recommendation.
