Questions & Answers about Si quieres, puedo remitirte la invitación y el horario ahora mismo.

Why does the sentence start with Si quieres? Does it literally mean if you want?

Yes. Si quieres literally means if you want.

In this sentence, though, it often works more naturally as:

• If you like
• If you want
• If you’d like

It softens the offer and makes it sound polite and casual.

Why is it quieres and not quiera, quieras, or quiero?

Because the speaker is talking to you in the informal singular form tú.

The verb is querer:

• yo quiero = I want
• tú quieres = you want
• él/ella quiere = he/she wants

So si quieres means if you want when speaking to one person informally.

If the speaker were addressing someone formally, it would be:

• Si quiere = if you want / if you’d like

If speaking to several people in Spain:

• Si queréis = if you all want
