would vs is

The Nepali word of 'go' would be 'janu'. Or. The Nepali word of 'go' is 'janu'. Which one is more correct? How does 'would' work in the sentence? (It's not a conditional, right?) Please explain.

Please explain briefly. I know very well about using 'would' with conditionals and with the meaning of continuous past actions such as, every week I came to my house, he would give me chocolates. But the sentence above is neither a conditional nor the other one.

Neither is correct as written.
The Nepali word for 'go' would be 'janu'.
The Nepali word for 'go' is 'janu'.
I'm not sure how would works here. The dictionary offers the sense of expressing an opinion, which I suppose this is, but I expected to find a more specific explanation. Perhaps someone else can offer a better answer.

If I were answering without the benefit if a dictionary, I would just call it a social hesitat
