That's because "would like" is "voudrais" - a different verb conjugation in French. So... until you learn that, just stick to being rude!
You have opened up a Pandora's box Littlestrike. This is a very sore point for me also. Dear sitesurf has explained this to me a few times and I still dont really get it. The topic is "Dropped Articles" and sometimes it is Les and others it is Des. One, or both of your examples could give rise to a dropped article in translation to English and there must be some sort of guide. Maybe it is one of those bizarre things we just have to memorize AGAIN!

I don't recall seeing the work "veux" before, so had no idea what the french robot was saying :( And vocab is gone, so I can't even work out what the word means...
