other than möchte being more rare is there any difference between “ich möchte gern” and “ich hätte gern”` please?
In the context of ordering stuff not really, but of course “ich möchte gern” can mean other things that “ich hätte gern” does not cover.
yeah. there’s also möchtegern too….is that the most idiomatic way of translating wannabe?
Yup, that works pretty well, overall.
