Learning Spanish language

how do you say "would" in spanish? is it another verb form or do you just add a word to say something like "i would do this". basically, to show willingness to do something

would in Spanish is quisiera or in a question is podría:


I would like to open an account
Quisiera abrir una cuenta

I would like a bottle of whisky
Quisiera una botella de whisky


Would you please direct me to the post office?
¿Podría decirme cómo llegar a la oficina de correos?


Would you please get me a pillow?
¿Me podría dar una almohada, por favor?

i mean would like "i would've been mad if that happened" or "i wouldn't do that if i was you" or "i would if i could"

This use has to do with conditional sentences

1. If I was you I wouldn't do that
Si yo fuera (or fuese) tú no haría eso (Subjuntivo imperfecto + condicional)

2.If that happened I would've been mad
Si eso hubiese ocurrido me habria vuelto loco (Subjuntivo imperfecto compuesto + codicional compuesto)

what is casho on spanish?thanks

callo??? cayó??? calló?
depends:

calló: past tense of the verb "callar" which means "to shut up"
cayó: past tense of the verb "caer" which means "to fall"
callo: callus

do you mean cacho if it so:

1. chub
2. in México: Piece or pieces of something
3. Card game that is played with a half deck
4. in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay means: Bunch of bananas

And Cacho is here the nickname for the those who are named Héctor as well

Like:
José -> Pepe
Francisco -> Pancho
Fernando -> Nando
Mariano -> Nano
Gladys -> Laly

Thanks

We also use it in Argentina (probably Uruguay too) the same way - "me das un cacho de eso?"

-Si quieres expresar el destinatario entonces necesitas para:
*Compré flores para mi mamá. (I bought flowers for my mom)
*Esto es para ti (This is for you)

oh,¡Es confuso!

Gracias a Alá. Sabes Árabe

Lo q entendí es así

Por mí = لأجلي/من أجلي

Para mí = لي

هل فعلت هذا من أجلي ؟

¿Hiciste esto por mí?

هل كل هذا لي ؟

¿Esto todo es para mí?


¿Es así o q?

Gracias por tu esfuerzo.

I'm sorry to disagree with you my dear friend, but in Argentina "cacho" does not mean a bunch of bananas... "cacho" or "cachito" means a bit or a lil' bit of something.
It is also used as a nickname for people named "Carlos"

haha, don't trust everything you see, hear or are told Zahra...

I don't know about Uruguay or Paraguay, I'm speaking for my own country
