hayan querido vs han querido I've watched a video where a guy asked people about Christmas. Why does he use hayan querido in one question and han querido in another? Both sentences look similiar. - Cómo van a celebrar ustedes la Navidad? - En familia. - Y para ustedes esa es una celebración ideal o hay algo que siempre hayan querido hacer en Navidad? - Y para ustedes es esa la Navidad ideal, celebrarla en familia o hay algo que siempre han querido hacer en estas fechas? Gracias de antemano!

This is a good question because it is a bit misleading for learners. In that example you can use both without changes in the meaning. A native Spanish speaker would ask that using both indistinctly and would understand you just as well. However for the following example you can only use "han querido": "Ellos siempre HAN QUERIDO hacer eso en Navidad", talking about an activity they have always wanted to do in Christmas. I hope this helps you!

Hola Valeriya. - Y para ustedes esa es una celebración ideal o hay algo que siempre hayan querido hacer en Navidad? The verb of this sentence is conjugated in Subjuntive mood, pretérito perfecto "hayan querido" Why does the speaker use the subjunctive mood? Because, the speaker treats to express a desire that is hard to attain or even unachievable for the listeners. For example: We would like to enjoy Christmas time in Hawai but we cannot afford it. - Y para ustedes es esa la Navidad ideal, celebrarla en familia o hay algo que siempre han querido hacer en estas fechas? The verb of this sentence is conjugated in Indicative mood, pretérito perfecto "han querido" In this case, the speaker treats to express a desire that the listeners can achieve but for unkonwn reasons they don´t do it . For example: We can enjoy Christmas time in Hawai (They have enough money) but we prefer to stay in family. Saludos. Antonio

Hola In México its very unusual "hayan", we use it in very specific situations. The second it´s more familiar for me. This are Present Perfect sentences: - ¿Hay algo que siempre han querido hacer en estas fechas? - Siempre he querido ir a la playa. - Nunca he nadado en un rio. - Ella nunca ha sido feliz con su trabajo. And the 'subjuntivo' mode is like this: - Espero que haya ganado la competencia. - El que haya ido hasta alla fue mala idea. - No siento que haya sido tan grave. 'Subjuntivo' mode is more like an specific way to say something, and it has a very irregular form and it´s not that common. When i read both sentences, it sounds better the second. :)
