In the link below, in 2:51, what does the following mean and why Ross used "Would"?
Ross: You can see where he'd have trouble!
This is my conclusion:
I think he used would to make the statement less polite. Also can we rephrase as the following?
"If your father couldn't understand that metaphor, then you can see he would have trouble understanding you."
