"Wolałbym zjeść coś innego."

Translation: I would prefer to eat something else.

What is wrong with "I would eat something else"?

[Jellei]

It's a different verb, it translates to "zjadłbym"/"zjadłabym".

Thanks Jellei, but I am still confused, could you elaborate a bit more please. I hope I got it right. So, I can't say "I would like to eat..." - correct? I can only say "I would rather like to eat..."

[Jellei]

"I would like" from the Polish perspective is literally "I would want" (chciałbym/chciałabym), which I think English doesn't really use much. Anyway, your answer is of course very close, but we don't allow changing the verb into a different one when translating.

i would prefer eating??

[alik1989]

It's somewhat unusual, but not wrong, so let's add it.

[GrahamKissack]

Just to mention that we would also say "I would prefer something else to eat."

[Jellei]

Sure, added now.
