How to use tratar in the conditional
The conditional of tratar is regular: trataría, tratarías, trataría, trataríamos, tratarían. It is very useful for advice ("Yo trataría de hablar con ella") and hypotheticals: "Si fuera tú, trataría de negociar." It sounds softer than a direct suggestion, which is why it is common in feedback conversations. Like the future, it uses the full infinitive as its stem, so there are no irregular forms.
Examples
Yo trataría de hablar con ella en persona.
I'd try to talk to her in person.
Si tuviera más tiempo, trataría de aprender alemán.
If I had more time, I'd try to learn German.
¿Cómo tratarías a un cliente tan difícil?
