Lesson III: Expressions of Desire
There are two ways to express a desire or wish.When what one desires requires a noun (I want a camera,I would like a phone etc) "hoshi(to want)" is used.The object of a verb(for example,a camera) is marked with the particle "ga",not "o".
The basic structure is: (someone) は (something) ほしい です.
- わたし は 車 が ほしい です。(I would like a car)
- わたし は カメラ が ほしい です。(I would like a camera)
- わたし は 日本人の 友達 ほしい です。(I want a Japanese friend)
When what one wants involves an action(I want to go,I want to play) the stem of a verb "-tai"
(たい) is used.
- 日本へ いきたいです。(I want to go to Japan)
- すき焼きが たべたい です。(I want to eat sukiyaki)
Negation:
- たべたくないです。(I don't want to eat)
- どこもいきたくないです(I don't want to go anywhere)
- イタリヤへないにいきたいです。(I want to go to Italy to learn music)
- モンバサへビリヤニたべたいにいきたいです(I want to go to Mombasa to eat biryani)
- こえん へ さんぽんいきたいです。(I want to go to the park for a work)
