Qui voudrait…?

When we want to offer something to a group of people, we sometimes say, “Who wants (to)…”. This translates as:

“Qui veut…” /kee vuhr/ or “Qui voudrait…” /kee vood ray/.

Following this utterance, you may either use a verb in the infinitive

“Qui veut venir avec moi?”
Who wants to come with me?

… or a noun. In which case you must use an article (that’s un, une, des, du, de la, le, la, les etc.).

Usually, one will offer one nonspecific thing, like a cookie or a slap; therefore they are most likely to use un or une :

“Qui voudrait un biscuit?” biscuit

AAAaaamoi j'en veux

“Qui voudrait une claque?”slap

aaaaarien

If you want to propose an undetermined quantity, as opposed to one unit, such as coffee, beer or a vacation, then you will use du, de la, des:

Qui voudrait du café?café

AAAaaamoi j'en veux

Qui voudrait de la bière? bière

AAAaaamoi j'en veux

“Qui voudrait des vacances?” vacation

AAAaaamoi j'en veux

Use le, la, les or l’ with caution here, and only when you are referring to one specific thing your discussion partners already know about:

“Qui voudrait les biscuits de Grand-mère?les biscuits

So. All this to say, this:

qui est

Vocabulary:

un monde meilleur: a better world

plus: more

être disposé à… : to be ready to…

ce: this

pour: in order to

moins: less

et: and

mieux: better*

*If you wonder why both meilleur and mieux mean better, then go read this lesson.
