Are these always interchangeable for the most part? Consider this: "Podrías tener la bondad de ayudarme con esto". "Tendrías la bondad de ayudarme con esto". They are the same here aren't they? Are they the same everywhere? Gracias.

Oh...and in this case Tendrías means "would you" - 00813f2a, Jul 4, 2010

En el contexto Tendrías es más común. Podrías significa "may you". But overall they men the same and are interchangeable.

Hola,
Para mí son un poco diferentes...
Podrías tener = could you have or you could have
Tendrías = would you have or you would have
Hope this helps.

To me "Could you" and "would you" are really similar meanings in English, I figure the same in Spanish? hmmmm... - jeezzle, Jul 4, 2010
Sí, but they are still a little different but they can be used interchangeably. - LuisaGomezBartle, Jul 4, 2010
