Could you please tell me meaning of this with easy English.

A:
It's pretending not confident. Like pretending I don't want to say that you are as good at playing poker as I am. So, I say, "I have to admit, you are as good at playing poker as I am." I may as well say it, before you take all my money. It is a form of courtesy, pretending to be boastful, and then pretending to be humbled. That way, we show others that we are natural and friendly, and don't take ourselves too seriously. These are my thoughts. You may have a different view.
Q:
O que significa Can you / Could you / Would you/ Will you?
A:
In the second sentence the verb (could) is in the conditional tense (I think) but can is in the present (I think). 'Could you' is more polite than 'Can you' and it sounds better, particularly if you are asking someone to do something for you.
Q:
O que significa It's not natural for me.
☜ Could you paraphrase it??
☜ Could you paraphrase it??
A:
something you are not used to doing or you do not feel comfortable while doing. I am right handed so it wouldn't feel natural for me to write with my left hand.
