Questions & Answers about Que pedido faria o hóspede agora?

Why is the verb faria and not fazeria?
faria is the conditional form of fazer (to make/do) for the ele/ela/você form. While regular verbs form the conditional by adding -ia to the infinitive, fazer is irregular and changes its stem to far-.
Why do we use Que instead of Qual for 'What request'?
When asking 'What' directly before a noun (like pedido), you must use Que. Qual is mostly used before the verb ser (to be) or when choosing from a specific group, but it is not placed directly in front of the noun.
Why is the word order faria o hóspede (would make the guest) instead of o hóspede faria?
In Portuguese questions that start with a question word like Que, it is very common to put the verb before the subject. You will also hear Que pedido o hóspede faria agora?, but putting the verb first sounds very natural.
I've seen pedido translated as 'order' before. Is it different from 'request'?
pedido is a versatile word that means both request and order (like a food order at a restaurant or an online purchase). Since the subject here is a guest (hóspede), request is the most natural translation.
