What does Je voudrais mean?

Answer 1

Je voudrais is french for "I would want" or "I would like." It is the conditional mood, which describes events which are not guaranteed, but often desired.

Functionally, it is used where the English language would use "I would like..."

For instance, it is popularly used to place an order at a restaurant.

It should not be confused with the future, je voudrai. (I will want, like)
