"Ias" is the second-person singular imperfect subjunctive form of the verb "ir," meaning "you went" or "you would go" in certain contexts.

The word 'ias' is used as the second-person singular imperfect tense of the auxiliary verb 'ir', forming part of a compound verb structure in Portuguese to indicate an action (going to like) that was anticipated in the past.
