Questions to Ask About Gifts People Like
Before giving a gift that your friends might not like, it’s a great idea to ask them what types of gifts they would enjoy!
Here are some Spanish questions you could ask:
- ¿Qué tipo de regalos te gustan? = What kind of gifts do you like?
- ¿Qué regalo te gustaría? = What gift would you like?
- ¿Qué quieres para Navidad? = What would you like for Christmas?
We really hope this entry gives you some ideas and helps you communicate like a native with your friends.
