The verbs European Portuguese uses to say can, want, must, know how and have to — poder, querer, dever, saber, ter de and precisar de — together with the conjugated forms you actually say out loud: posso, quero, devo, tenho de, preciso de. It also covers the polite conditionals queria, podia and gostaria de, which is how you order a coffee or ask a favour in Portugal without sounding blunt.
