Episode 39 - How to Say "Want" or "Desire (...tai desu)

- New words -

When you desire or want something (noun), the expression used is "欲しい" or "ほしい" (hoshii).

Watashi wa kuruma ga hoshii desu. 私は車が欲しいです。 --- I want a car.
Watashi wa sono hon ga hoshii desu. 私はその本が欲しいです。 --- I want that book.
Watashi wa nihonjin no tomodachi ga hoshii desu. 私は日本人の友達が欲しいです。 --- I want a Japanese friend.
Watashi wa kamera ga hoshii desu. 私はカメラが欲しいです。 --- I want a camera.

When you desire or want to do something (verb - since it's an action), the Japanese expression "verb {stem of masu-form} たい" (tai) is used.

Nani ga tabetai desu ka. 何が食べたいですか。 --- What do you want to eat?
Watashi wa kono eiga ga mitai desu. 私はこの映画がみたいです。 --- I want to watch this movie.
Watashi wa amerika ni ikitai desu. 私はアメリカに行きたいです。 --- I want to go to America.

Take note that this expression is only used for first person, so it's always "watashi wa Noun ga hoshii desu". However "watashi wa" is normally omitted as it's obvious that the speaker is talking as the first person.

田中さんは犬 が ほしいです。 X
tanaka san wa inu ga hoshii desu X
Meaning: Mr Tanaka wants a dog. X

Note: This sentence is wrong because it's Mr Tanaka's desire
