querés

Querés is a Spanish word, specifically the second-person singular informal (tú) form of the verb querer, which means "to want." It is commonly used in everyday conversation to express a desire or wish. For example, "Querés un café?" translates to "Do you want a coffee?" The verb querer is highly versatile and can also be used to express affection, like in the phrase "Te quiero," meaning "I love you" (though this is a different conjugation). The use of "querés" is indicative of informal speech and is prevalent in many Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in the Rioplatense region of Argentina and Uruguay. In these regions, the "vos" conjugation of verbs, which often ends in "-és" for the second-person singular informal, is standard. Therefore, "querés" is the direct equivalent of "quieres" (the "tú" form used in most other Spanish dialects) when speaking to someone informally in these areas. Its meaning remains consistent: a direct expression of wanting something.
