viviría

Viviría is the present conditional form of the Spanish verb vivir, meaning "to live." It is used to express actions that would occur under certain conditions, to make polite requests, or to describe a future from a hypothetical or past perspective.

Conjugation and form: The conditional is formed by adding the endings -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían to the infinitive vivir. For example: yo viviría, tú vivirías, él viviría, nosotros viviríamos, vosotros viviríais, ellos vivirían. The verb keeps its regular -ir endings in all persons, and every form carries an acute accent on the í to indicate the correct stress.

Usage notes: Viviría is commonly used in hypothetical clauses introduced by si, as in: Si ganara la lotería, viviría en otro país. It can also express a conditional or contingent state in the present or future, or convey a softer, more tentative tone in statements. In reported speech, the conditional can reflect a future-in-the-past nuance, as in “dijo que viviría allí,” meaning that he would live there.

Relation to other tenses: It contrasts with the simple present viviría vs. the imperfect past viviría? There is a related imperfect subjunctive viviriera or viviese for more distant hypothetical clauses. Other tenses using the same verb stem include the future viviré, vivirás, etc., which indicate actual future events rather than conditional scenarios.

Etymology: Vivir is derived from Latin vivere; viviría inherits the regular Spanish conditional formation used with -ir verbs.
