"Maybe he would like to work with us."

Translation: Peut-être qu'il aimerait travailler avec nous.

[LSadun]

Would Il voudrait peut etre travailler avec nous work?

I think I'm missing something... could someone please explain to me where the "que" comes from?

[LSadun]

Literally, the sentence says "(it) could be THAT he would like to work with us".

[frank.uk]

And suddenly, everything makes sense, thank you!

[Gary771944]

I think "voudrait" should work, but it didn't for me either. I've flagged it.

[Frederick_W_V]

Me too. I've often seen aimer used when I would have used vouloir, for questions that involve want instead of like.

[Peter724589]

Agreed that 'voudrait' and 'aimerait' are practically identical.

[Leonard145630]

Why que is needed here, ommiting it, does it change sense or is just unacceptable

[Gary771944]

Looking into it: voudrait - would want to, aimerait - would like to

[LSadun]

Technically, yes, but the meanings are almost identical. Most of the time, both phrases are just polite ways of saying "want".

What's wrong with this? "Il voudrait peut-être travailler avec nous."
