Spanish Word- Quiero

Author: Johns Smith

Spanish Word: Quiero…

English Word: I want…

Pronunciation: kee-ye-ro

Function: verb
Let’s say that you are out traveling in Spain or in any Spanish-speaking country and you want to ask directions to the restaurant. How will you communicate what you want to ask? Uttering the word quiero – which directly translates to “I want”, is a good place to start as any.

Example: Quiero ir a un restaurante.
Translation: I want to go to the restaurant.
