So asking somebody what they want to do in spanish goes like this "que quieres hacer"

but how to I properly say "what to you want us two to do" and what's the differents to "what do you want us (the person being ask not included) to do"

is both just que quieres hagamos?

Welcome to SpanishDict. "Spanish" should be capitalized. - rac1, Apr 23, 2017

There's several ways to say that, it depends of the context. - Que quieres que hagamos? (what do you want us to do?), is more informal. - Que desearías que hiciéramos? (What you dessire us to do?) but I don't know how propper is the use of the word dessire. - Que te gustaría que hiciéramos? ( what would you like us to do?) in this phrase, you are not asking for an opinnion, you are asking what specific activity he/she want to do.

If the context is clear, then I would keep it simple and say what you suggested:

¿Qué quieres que hagamos?

Or if you really want or need to add the "both" in there:

¿Qué quieres que hagamos los dos?

I think that's right. If not hopefully someone will come along and correct me. smile

¿Qué quieres hacer [tú]? (What do you want to do?) ; ¿Qué quieres que hagamos? (What do you want us to do? [the person being asked not included] ; ¿Qué quieres que hagamos nosotros dos? (What do you want us two to do?) ; ¿Qué te gustaría que hiciéramos nosotros dos? [Formal] (What would you like us two to do?).
