意思
States a desire or wish.
文化背景
In Brazil, 'Eu quero' is often used without 'Eu'. Just saying 'Quero um...' is very common and not considered rude in casual settings. Portuguese people value 'educação' (politeness) highly. Using 'Queria' (I wanted) instead of 'Quero' is a sign of good upbringing. In Luanda, 'Eu quero' is used directly, but often accompanied by 'mambo' (thing/stuff) in slang. Similar to Portugal, formal addresses are common, but 'Eu quero' is used frequently in the vibrant markets (mercados).
Drop the 'Eu'
To sound more like a native, drop the 'Eu' and just say 'Quero'. It's faster and very natural.
The 'Que' Rule
If you want someone else to do something, you must say 'Eu quero QUE...'. Never say 'Eu quero você fazer'.
