viviríamos

Viviríamos is the first-person plural form of the Spanish verb vivir in the conditional mood. It translates to “we would live.”

Formation and grammar: The form is regular for -ir verbs, created by attaching the conditional ending -íamos to the infinitive vivir. The word carries a written accent on the í to indicate the stressed syllable: viviríamos. Other related forms in the same paradigm are viviría, vivirías, viviríamos, viviríais, vivirían.

Usage: The conditional mood expresses hypothetical or contingent actions. It is commonly used in clauses introduced by si to describe what would happen under certain conditions, for example: “Si tuviéramos más tiempo, viviríamos cerca del mar.” It can also be used to convey polite or softened statements, or to discuss imagined outcomes in the present or future from a past perspective.

Notes: The conjugation is regular for -ir verbs, with no stem change in the conditional. “Viviríamos” is one member of the standard set for the conditional mood: viviría, vivirías, viviría, viviríamos, viviríais, vivirían. In contrast with forms like “vivimos” (we live) or “vivíamos” (we were living), viviríamos marks a hypothetical or contingent action rather than a factual one.
