~たい (want to)
grammar139 sentences
The desiderative suffix ~たい attached to a verb stem, expressing the speaker's wish to do that action — 行きたい ('want to go'). Conjugates like an i-adjective: ~たくない ('don't want to'), ~たかった ('wanted to'). First-person only in plain assertion; for third-person desires, ~たがる is required. Question form is fine for second person.
