what does cuando quiera mean?

Question

What does cuando quiera mean?

Answer 1

It means: whenever you want

Answer 2

since quiera is subjunctive I think whenever you like is more appropriate than whenever you want. I suppose if you used the condtional querría then you would follow it with the past subjunctive; si fuera rico, nos casíaramos.

Answer 3

Literally meaning when you/he/she may want. It's the subjunctive use of the verb querer, promoted by the word cuando. Alternatively translated as whenever you like/want or he/she likes/wants.

Answer 4

It often is used as a single word by beginner's (doesn't actually exist). It is inferred from actual similar words like dondequiera or cualquiera/quienquiera.

The attempt is to say "whenever" (cada vez que or similar phrases).
