Usage notes

  • The act of wanting something in Japanese, unlike in English, is usually denoted by an adjective (欲しい) instead of with a verb ("to want").
  • A verb denoting willingness ( (ほっ)する (hossuru)) exists, but its usage is quite uncommon.
  • The usage of this word can be considered overly direct or childish.
  • Adding たい (-tai) to a verb is also often used with a similar meaning:
    ケーキを ()たい
    Kēki o tabetai.
    I want to eat a cake.
  • When following the ない (nai) form of a verb + (te) it means "don't want you to".
