How to properly say this sentence?
Open the terminal to the folder you would like to use.
Should I say you would like to use? or you want to use?
I learned in one of the comments of this question that "would like" is use to make the sentence sound more politely. But in my case the sentence that I made doesn't need to be sound politely. But "would like" to use sounds fine to me than "want to"
Both are correct and are almost identical, but there is a subtle distinction:
"would like to" implies that there is some doubt.
"want to" implies more certainty.
