What does the Spanish word "Queria" mean? The translator websites don't know it.?

Example:


Casi todo el mundo en el gran bosque verde queria a Gorilita.|||Almost everyone in the great forest loved Gorilita (little Gorilla).





quer铆a is the third person imperfect form of the verb "querer", which means want, love, like.





So it translates loved or liked in this sentence.





Dictionaries do not normally translate regular verbs. Nearly every verb in Spanish has 57 forms.|||Almost everyone in the world in the big green forest loved gorillita. loved=queria

|||Queria most likely means "question". It root is something like query.|||It麓s "wanted" - Almost everybody on the great green forest wanted Gorilita. I hope it helps. Regards, Gabriel.|||lol


it means to "want"|||wanted,,, and it refers to an unspecified time period,,,, as in,,,,,, i wanted to see you before i left,,,,,, or i wanted to get a new car,,,,,,,,,,,, as opposed to ,,, i wanted to see you on thursday,,,, or i want a new car next year,,,,,,,,|||In this case queria means to love...el bosque verde queria instead of saying el bosque verde amaba which is more romantic.|||It's the past imperfect form of the verb "querer" which means, want or love.





In the example is: "Almost everybody in the great green forest loved Gorilita "





Related to translator websites, they know the word if you write it correctly... :o) You have forgotten the accent, you must write 'quer铆a'.





PS. As someone pointed, it also it's used to ask for something in a shop or a restaurant.


"Quer铆a una Coca-cola" = "I would like to take a Coke"|||"Almost everybody in the great green forest loved/liked Gorilita "





Professor Richard had the best answer already !|||In this sentence means "loved"|||Almost everybody in the great green forest queria to Gorilita this is the translation for the example





ooh and merry Christmas.and a happy new year|||Queria-----"i would like"
