Jak przetlumaczyc powyzsze zdania? Ewentualnie, czym roznia sie od siebie?

Will respond as soon as I go back from classes unless somebody has stolen my thunder :).

There's much to speak about in this thread, mate.

See ya!

Thank you in advance.
I hope I'm not a nuisance to you :)

No, you're not. I am pressed for time so I"II do that like a bat out of hell. Look at these two:


1. I should like to introduce you to Mr Kowalski

2. I would like to introduce you to Mr Kowalski.

There's actually a subtle difference in meaning between them, because the first (I should like...) is commonly used by the British for making polite requests or statements:

Should you like to take a seat, madam? Czy zechciałaby Pani spocząć?

"Would like" is a lot more common, because it's less formal and traditional so to speak.

"Should like" is also used when talking about preferences:

Should you like any thing up stairs, or would you prefer it in the kitchen?

Should you like to say home today?

That's why you have got:

I should much prefer to go there tomorrow.
I would much prefer to go there tomorrow.

I would like is a little more natural to use, especially when you're betwixt the people you know well :)

Notice that "should like" can be used only in the first and the second person (interrogative), you can't say:

She should like to go there alone.


Am poping out for school. Next time I will say what I know about "shall like".

cheerio! (don't mean flakes here)

Thank you.
I usually hear "cheerio" from merry grannies in Scotland and their intonation is very melodic, and loud. V (a character from "V for Vendetta) used it as well, though :)
