📚 Etymology▼
Comes from a combination of the infinitive form of the verb, 'hacer', and the old imperfect endings of the verb 'haber'. So, 'hacer' + 'ía' became the conditional form 'haría'. 'Hacer' itself comes from the Latin word 'facere', meaning 'to do' or 'to make'.
First recorded: Evolved in Late Latin / early Spanish, solidifying around the 12th-13th centuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'haría' and 'haré'?
'Haría' means 'I/he/she would do' and is for imaginary or conditional situations. For example, 'Si ganara la lotería, haría una fiesta' (If I won the lottery, I would have a party). 'Haré' means 'I will do' and is for things you plan to do in the future, like 'Mañana haré la compra' (Tomorrow I will do the shopping).
Can 'haría' mean both 'I would do' and 'he would do'?
Yes! In the conditional tense, the verb form for 'yo' (I) and 'él/ella/usted' (he/she/you formal) is the same. You can usually tell who is being talked about from the context of the conversation. If you need to be extra clear, you can add the pronoun: 'Yo haría...' or 'Él haría...'.
