Someone who is fluent could explain it to you better than I can but if you said tenemos hablar that would be like saying “we have talk”

You would sound like a caveman

And yeah hablar means to talk but it doesn’t translate that way

It just translates as talk

I see what you're trying to say. But It will sound kinda weird if it was " tenemos a hablar" instead of "tenemos que hablar"

"Que" usually means what, than or that.
But when "que" comes before the word a tener and after the word tiene(s),tenemos ,tengo, tenia..etc the word "que" means "to".

Nah. If you were to say “tenemos hablar” what you’re saying is “we have talk” not “we have to talk.”

Okay, can you brehs drop examples because this is starting to annoy me. I understand what you guys are saying, but the shyt looks strange.

I'm definitely gonna need examples of the bold though.


.....

Wait, I think I got it. So, for example, is it similar to how you wouldn't say "Hablo Espanol" in place of "Yo Hablo Espanol"?

Based on what @flea said, Spanish verbs translate in english to "to[insert action]", but in Spanish, it's just "[insert action]"? So do you always say "que" in front of a verb or is it just based on context?

Yeah based on context, you don’t always use it in front of a verb. Like without the que, a sentence with tenemos would only make sense if you use a noun. Like “tenemos agua” would be we have water. Tenemos perico we have cocaine. This shyt is lowkey kinda complicated to explain. But I’m Dominican, our Spanish is trash anyways.

That sounds pretty simple. So if I was to say "we have to go" in Spanish, it'd be "Tenemos que Ir"?

Think of "tener que" as meaning having to

Spanish has a lot of inconsistencies that are important to know. Another one is that "hay que" means "one must" rather than "there is that"

 

[Cave Savage]

And the unconjugated verb definitely can connotate "to X", so I see why he was confused by that. "Quiero beber" means "I want to drink", for instance.

i digested the fukk out of this album.
it's great. the only track I really don't like is 'tenemos que hablar'.. sounds too punk/poppy corny for me. i still listen if im lazy tho.
besides that though, all fire to me

Right. I thought that exactly, but now I'm guessing that it's on a verb-by-verb basis.

Or

Could I also say, "Quiero que beber..."?

If it's the former, then how would I know the difference?

Edit: I read your post before this and I think I got it.

i've never heard anyone say quiero que beber

Okay. So what I got from this thread and other places online, you use "que" when instructing someone to do something, and when stating something as a need/requirement and not a want.

"Tener que" is its own thing, I don't think you should apply its logic to anything else.
