What does "hubiera" and "quisiera" mean?

Question

Please explain how to say "would", "would have", "could", "could have", "should", and "should have" in Spanish.

Answer 1

It depends on the context.

Normally, you would use the conditional tense (indicative mood), but there are contexts where the imperfect tense, subjunctive mood is used (especially in IF clauses).

Hubiera and quisiera are imperfect tense, subjunctive mood of Haber and Querer.

Quisiera (querer) is one of three verbs in Spanish that are also used for making polite requests.

That is only true if one is using the conditional tense. The imperfect subjunctive can also be used. - 0074b507, ENE 21, 2010
