I really like your little motivation sentences at the very end of those videos :)! Thank you!
Can I say nos queríamos pedir alcum coisa? If I want to say that we would like to order somenting?
If I try to translate this from Português to English or dutch it translates to we wanted en not to we would like.
Olá! In Portuguese, the pretérito imperfeito (queria) is also used to politely ask for something you want now. This is called imperfeito de cortesia (Imperfect of Courtesy). As for the phrase you’d use, there’s no direct translation of «We’d like to order something» that sounds good, but you could say one of these: «Queríamos fazer o pedido/We’d like to make the order», «Podemos fazer o pedido?/Can we make the order?», «Queria fazer o pedido agora/I’d like to order now».
