Sorry to disappoint you... I do French and Farsi, but not Spanish... the translation was courtesy of www.dictionary.com

They both do. They are both conjugations of "querer" (to want).

(Yo) quiero = I want (present tense)
(Yo) quisiera = I would like (imperfect subjunctive tense)

The second is just more polite.

nice work zemkat. now if you could only teach me how not to fall when stemming that corner at the gyzo. what's farsi? is that like klingon? if you or anybody on here is a trekkie there's gonna be some head bashing.

It's the language of one of our dear semi-elected president's 'axis of evil' nations. Hint: They do not speak Farsi in North Korea. There's climbing and skiing in this country. It has a common border with Afghanastan and Turkmenistan.

(By the way - the phrase was originally written as 'axis of hatred'. Makes lots more sense to me and wouldn't have caused so much very serious diplomatic trouble, but then I'm not a religious fundamentalist)

Yup, Farsi's the language of Iran
