These are questions you might ask when you are offering to refill a cup of coffee for someone. The word for word translation of these sentences into English do not sound natural to me. I am assuming that the most common way to translate these sentences would be either of these three: Would you like a little more coffee? or Would you like a refill? 

It is always good to remember that the subjunctive follows querer + que when there is a change of subject.

When you say estoy mortimer , you are saying I am dead tired. I love learning new words and expressions in Spanish. ¡Me cunde poga! Here is a link the the video.   Palabras que us...
