أسئلة شائعة (6)

It translates to the English 'would'. It shows that an action depends on a condition or is just a wish, like Aș vrea (I would want).
Not at all! It follows a very similar logic to 'would' + verb, making it one of the most intuitive parts of Romanian grammar.
You can, but it sounds like a demand. Using Aș dori makes you sound respectful and polite.
Not at all! You only need to learn the 6 auxiliary words (aș, ai, etc.) and the infinitive.
It means it deals with conditions ('if') and options or desires ('I would like'). It covers both hypothetical scenarios and wishes.
Not at all! Unlike the present tense, the main verb never changes its ending, you just need to learn six small helper words.
