rather/ I('d) prefer Explanation: I'm afraid you're not giving enough context. "Lieber" used with a verb can mean sth. like. "I would rather do xyz" or "I'd prefer xyz" or " I prefer doing x to doing y". |

rather / better / dear Explanation: -when in a sentence like "...gehe lieber jetzt", it should be translated as "rather" or "better" ("rather/better go now") -when combined with a form of "mögen", it means "prefer" -when in front of a name or a title, especially in letters, it means "dear"(e. g. "...,lieber Freund," = "..., dear friend,". |
