Where do I put tambien in this one sentence?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to say: Also, do you want to create a checking account?

"¿Quieres crear una cuenta corriente también?" or "¿También quieres crear una cuenta corriente?"

or where do I put it?

Thank you!

Answer 1

In fact is possible both ways and also in the middle like DR1960 said. The reason is that it change the emotional meaning.

In Spanish also you can express emotions depending how you say the things. For example:

"¿Quieres crear una cuenta corriente también?" They ask you simply if you want to add another task to what you was doing. So also another account? It could show little surprise also. Like, aslo you want this?

"¿También quieres crear una cuenta corriente?" Here when you say "También" at the beggining, you put strengh in "También" that shows that the person who do it for you is kind of tired and this is an extra work that may not be nice for who ask. It can be use sarcasticly, like saying, "so it was not enough all what you did, that also you want to open an account?" It shows mad, and can be rude. Sorry for my english.

"¿Quieres crear tambien una cuenta corriente?" And in this case, who ask is inviting you to do more. Like, "do you want extra cheese in your burguer?" That person is selling more to you.

Sounds like the third option matches the intent of your example. - DR1960, Feb 27, 2014

Answer 2

Maybe;

"¿ pues, quieres crear una cuenta corriente ? "

Answer 3

I think, as in English, that you can place this at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle such as after "crear". Whether one or the other is more natural sounding...I will defer to others.
