[Comrade Khan]

Je veux means I want. Je voudrais means I would like. It’s more polite lol

[Comrade Khan]

I don’t think I say “I want” to waiters lmao

[Comrade Khan]

I don’t think I say “I want” to waiters lmao

the exact translation doesn't always translate to the same English context tho

 

[Comrade Khan]

I usually say can I get tho

 

[Sabretooth]

I say “can I get” or “ l think I’ll have”

 

[Chris]

Especially bc I find English in general has a lot of weird passive aggressiveness that foreigners understandably struggle with and are seen as rude lol

 

[Chris]

I just be like lemme get

 

[Comrade Khan]

the exact translation doesn't always translate to the same English context tho

exactly. it doesnt translate to I would like, it translate to i want is ''conditionel' tense

 

[Jay-Ashley]
