indirect object pronouns and "gustaría"
Hola! I have a question about using indirect object pronouns involving a verb in a sentence with "gustaría" in it. The sentence I'm trying to say is: "Would you like me to mix the ice creams?" I work at an ice cream shop, and sometimes people order more than one ice cream for the same cup or cone, so I need to know if they want the ice creams mixed together or put side-by-side in the cup or cone. I could just say "Me quieres a mezclar los helados?" or "Quieres los helados mixtos?" to avoid "gustaría", but I want to say "Le gustaría a mezclar los helados?", because "gustaría" is more polite than "quieres", but I don't know where to put the "me" in that last sentence that signifies that I am doing the mixing because "Le" is already there... do I use the "yo" form of mezclar? I'm confused.
Gracias!!! XD

I believe in both these cases, you have to use a "que"subjunctive phrase as you are changing the subject, you also used informal in the first, formal in the second:
Me quieres a mezclar los helados X
¿Quiere(s) que (yo) mezcle los helados? (informal is with s)
Le gustaría a mezclar los helados X
¿Le gustaría a usted que (yo) mezcle los helados> (formal)
¿Te gustaría que (yo) mezcle los helados? (informal)
Possibly a more polite way of using querer:
¿Querría(s) (usted) que (yo) mezcle los helados? (informal with s, formal with usted)
For Latin Americans you could also say:
¿Quisiera(s) (usted) que (yo) mezcle los helados?
Actually if you say "me quieres mezclar los helados" (without the a that makes the sentence just wrong) you are asking do you want to mix the ice creams for me- the opposite of what you are trying to ask.
Thank you!!! "Que" is a word that I don't quite understand how to use yet, this helped though
