How to ask questions in French (II)

With regards to my previous post here, another way to ask "would you like" using the conditional form for the verb aimer (to like).

Therefore, following the examples:

Vous aimeriez manger quelque chose? (You would like to eat something?)

J'aimerais manger quelque chose. (I would like to eat something.)

According to one of my friends, and some podcasts, waiters in French would say "Je vous écoute", meaning "I am listening to you". This might sound a bit arrogant in English but is quite a norm in France.

I will be posting a third post regarding asking questions which will include who, why, where, when and what soon. Stay tuned!
