Konjunktiv II: Höfliche Bitten (würde, könnte, hätte gern)
The Konjunktiv II is used for polite requests, suggestions and unreal situations. Its most important use at A2: making polite sentences in restaurants, shops and formal correspondence — in German culture, using these patterns instead of saying 'I want' directly (ich will) is considered a sign of politeness and good language skills.
