映画が見たい

 

 

Indicates Desire

Alright, instead of talking about the things that we can do, let’s instead talk about the things that we want.

In Japanese there are two main ways that you say you want something. One is by changing the verb into the right form, and the other has to do with the word 欲しい (hoshii).

In any case, we will attach the が particle to the thing that we want when we use both strategies.

So for Ejemplo, let’s say that you are sitting around at home with nothing to do and then you see a bunch of previews for movies that are playing at your local theater. You could tell your roommate that you want to go see a movie and invite them along as well.

  • 映画が見たい!
  • eiga ga mitai!
  • I want to see a movie!

In this last Ejemplo, we changed the verb for “to see” 見る (miru) into its form that means “want to see” which is 見たい (mitai) and then we put that が onto the thing we wanted to see, in this case a movie 映画 (eiga).

Likewise, when we don’t want to do something, but instead want an item or an object, we put “ga” on to the thing and then follow up with the word 欲しい which means “to want, to desire.”

  • 車が欲しいです。
  • kuruma ga hoshii desu.
  • I want a car.

There are times when we can use the を particle instead of が and still be considered grammatically correct, but it is far more common to use が used in these cases so I always advocate just using it.
