Yo quiero or simply quiero

Question

¡Hola! What should I use whe I want to say I want a fruit. Yo quiero la fruta - or simply - Quiero la fruta. Thanks for your answer.

Answer 1

The pronoun would only used in this context for emphasis. You don't need it - the Spanish language is remarkably sensible, verb endings suffice to show what is being done to whom and by whom. However if you were saying: 'Jorge wants this, but I want that' then you could use it to emphasise the differentiation.

Answer 2

HI tom, good question, no subject pronouns are used in Spanish, take that as a general rule, there are exceptions, but they are rare. Well done

Answer 3

If you've asked three times and then feel the need to shout or insist, then you might throw in the yo.

Answer 4

indeed! use only quiero

Answer 5

Quiero without the yo.
