Answer 1

It means "he/she/it/you(formal) wants"

It is pronounced kind of like (key-air-ay) = (key like the English word key, air like the English word air, ay like the first letter of the English alphabet)

Of course that's not exactly how it sounds, because Spanish pronunciation is different. For instance, the Spanish "r" sounds more like the English letter "d" than the English "r"

If you type "wants" into the translator, quiere will come up and you can listen to a pronunciation next to it - arh1, Dec 12, 2011

Hey, that's cool about the translator. I didn't know that! I just tried it out. Very handy. :) - webdunce, Dec 13, 2011

Answer 2

It is the 3rd person present conjugation of the verb QUERER (principal meaning is TO WANT).

The pronunciation of quiere is more like /key-ED-eh/ or /KYED-eh/.

A single R between two vowels in the middle of a word is pronounced like the DD in ladder.
