        <div class="chapter_name">Wanting To Do with <i>-Tai</i></div>
        <div class="blurb">In this lesson, we&rsquo;ll learn a simple verb form that allows you to
        express your desires or ambitions. It translates in English to &ldquo;I want to do
        X.&rdquo; For example, to say &ldquo;I want to eat ramen,&rdquo; or &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to read
        the newspaper&rdquo; in Japanese, we would use this form. </div>
        <div><img src="divider@2x.png" class="divider" /></div>

<p class="bodycopy">As always, let&rsquo;s start by looking at our own language.
        As you might have noticed from the examples above, in English, 
        we string together multiple verbs (&ldquo;I <i>want</i> to <i>eat</i>&rdquo;), 
        but in Japanese, there is actually a form of the verb  
        that can do this all by itself.
        
        To convert a verb from its <i>-masu</i> form into this &ldquo;want to do&rdquo; form,
        follow these easy steps:</p>

<ol class="bodycopy">
     <li>Drop the <i>-masu</i> ending.</li>
     <li>Add <i>-tai</i>.</li>
</ol>

<p class="bodycopy">Let&rsquo;s see this at work with a few verbs we know:</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The reason statements like this almost always refer to the
        speaker is that this verb form reflects inner volition, not outward appearance,
        and it&rsquo;s not really possible to know that state of someone else&rsquo;s mind. A
        person might <i>seem</i> to want to go, but
        you can&rsquo;t really know for sure. So it would sound awkward to use a subject
        besides &ldquo;I&rdquo; with this form.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Don&rsquo;t we need a <i>desu</i>
        on the end of these sentences? <i>Desu</i>
        is often added to be polite, but grammatically, it is only for decoration. As
        we will see in a moment, the <i>-tai</i>
        form actually behaves like a true Japanese adjective, so it can stand on its
        own at the end of a sentence.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Thus, the sentences <i>Ikitai</i>
        and <i>Ikitai desu</i> are exactly the same
        in meaning, but the latter is more polite. 
        Likewise, the questions <i>Ikitai?</i> and <i>Ikitai desu ka?</i> 
        both mean &ldquo;Do you want to go?&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">So now we can say we &ldquo;want to do&rdquo; anything. But
        suppose we want to use other forms. Perhaps we wanted to go. Maybe we don&rsquo;t
        want to go. Maybe we never wanted to go at all. What then?</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Does anything strike you as suspicious in that <i>-tai</i> ending? 
        Here&rsquo;s a new form that ends
        with a hiragana <i>i</i>, which has the

<p class="bodycopy">Treat the <i>-tai</i>

<p class="bodycopy">On the previous page, we saw that you can add <i>desu</i> after a <i>-tai</i>
word to make it more polite. But note that, because the <i>-tai</i> word itself conjugates, 
the <i>desu</i> is purely decorative. It will always be, exactly, <i>desu</i>. For example, if you want to
make the first example above more polite, you could say <i>Yomitakatta desu</i>. It will never be <i>deshita</i>
or any other form, because the tense information comes from the <i>yomitakatta</i> part.
</p>

<p class="bodycopy">When incorporating this form into a longer sentence, just
        construct the sentence the way you normally would with an ordinary verb, and
        change that verb to the <i>-tai</i> form.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">So, for instance, if &ldquo;I eat an apple&rdquo; is <i>Ringo wo tabemasu</i>, then
&ldquo;I want to eat an apple&rdquo; is <i>Ringo wo <strong>tabetai</strong>.</i> See how that works?</p>

<p class="bodycopy">I used mostly present positive forms this time around
        because when you ask questions of others relating to what they want to do,
        you&rsquo;re usually asking about the very immediate future. &ldquo;What do you want
        to eat?&rdquo; &ldquo;Where do you want to go?&rdquo; &ldquo;What do you want to
        do?&rdquo; These all take the easy <i>-tai</i> form.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">Sometimes this form will seem to break grammatical rules,
        based on what we&rsquo;ve learned so far. For example, we want the sentence, &ldquo;I
        want to watch a movie,&rdquo; to be <i>Eiga
        wo mitai</i>. This seems natural. But often, you&rsquo;ll hear Japanese people
        saying, <i>Eiga <b>ga</b> mitai</i>. This sentence seems to mean &ldquo;The movie wants to see.&rdquo;
        What&rsquo;s going on here?</p>

<p class="bodycopy">I was frustrated when I first heard people doing this. It
        didn&rsquo;t seem right. To understand it, consider the fact that the &ldquo;want to do&rdquo; forms conjugate
        like adjectives. You can consider that, even though they started out life as verbs,
        they have crossed mostly over to the adjective side. They still retain a little bit of their
        verb heritage, which is why you can say something like <i>Eiga wo mitai</i>, but 
        that reflects more what they used to be than what they are now.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">
        You can imagine <i>mitai</i> 
        as being an adjective that means &ldquo;want-to-see-able.&rdquo;
        In that case, the sentence <i>Eiga ga mitai</i> feels like &ldquo;The movie is want-to-seeable (for
        me).&rdquo; <i>Ringo ga tabetai</i> feels
        like &ldquo;The apple is want-to-eat-able,&rdquo; and so on.</p>

        <div class="example">
            <div class="example_bar_and_copy">
                <div class="example_icon" onclick="showIngredients('ingredients-wanting-170');"><img class="example_icon_image" src="ingredients@2x.png" /></div>
                <div class="example_copy">
                    <div class="example_japanese correct_japanese" id="s757" onclick="playSound('Wanting_tsumetai-BI-RUga-nomitai');" ontouchstart="turnOn('s757');" ontouchend="turnOff('s757');" ontouchcancel="turnOff('s757');"><span class="nw">つめたい　</span><img src="spacer@2x.png" width="0" /><span class="nw">ビールが　</span><img src="spacer@2x.png" width="0" /><span class="nw">のみたい。</span><img src="spacer@2x.png" width="0" /><span class="nw"></span><img src="spacer@2x.png" width="0" /></div>
                    
                    <div class="example_translation"><span class="example_translation_show" id="b757" onclick="showTranslation('b757', 't757');" ontouchstart="turnOn('b757');" ontouchend="turnOff('b757');" ontouchcancel="turnOff('b757');">(show translation)</span><span id="t757" style="display:none;">Cold beer is want-to-drink-able for me. = I could go for some cold beer.</span></div>
                </div>
            </div>

        </div>
        <p style="clear:both;height:0px;"></p>


<p class="bodycopy">If you prefer to treat the &ldquo;want to do&rdquo; form like regular verbs, using <i>wo</i> to mark objects,
        that&rsquo;s totally acceptable. But you should be prepared to hear people treating them like adjectives,
        as this is very common.

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Doyoubi, nani wo
        shitai?</i>: Correctly, the time phrase <i>doyoubi</i>
        should be marked with <i>ni</i>. Japanese
        people sometimes drop particles in speech. When such speech is transcribed,
        this abbreviation is usually noted with a comma.</p>

<p class="bodycopy"><i>Udon wa tabetakunai
        kedo</i>: At first blush, this may look like, &ldquo;The udon doesn&rsquo;t want to eat,&rdquo;
        and that is indeed the translation that would be required if <i>wa</i> were a subject marker. Fortunately, <i>wa</i> is only a topic marker. John is using
        it to distinguish udon as something he doesn&rsquo;t want to eat, before changing the
        topic to ramen.</p>

<p class="bodycopy">The feel is something like, &ldquo;As for udon, I&rsquo;m not so into
        it, but how about ramen? Are there any ramen shops?&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">In this lesson, we learned the &ldquo;want to do&rdquo; form, which allows
        us to express desire or ambition. By simply changing the <i>-masu</i> ending of any verb to <i>-tai</i>,
        we create a form that behaves much like an adjective. 
        This <i>-tai</i> form can end sentences and conjugate to other forms (past,
        negative, and past negative). For example, <i>Ikitakunai</i> means &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to go.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">
When using <i>-tai</i> forms with direct objects, you can mark
        them with <i>wo</i>, which preserves the verb heritage of the <i>-tai</i> form.
        For example, you might say <i>Tsumetai mizu <strong>wo</strong> nomitai</i>, &ldquo;I want to drink cold water.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="bodycopy">However, because the <i>-tai</i> forms conjugate exactly like adjectives do,
you can consider them as having mostly crossed over to the adjective side of life. Therefore, you can consider 
a word like <i>nomitai</i> to mean something like &ldquo;want-to-drink-able.&rdquo; For this reason, you&rsquo;ll often 
see sentences like <i>Tsumetai mizu <strong>ga</strong> nomitai</i>, &ldquo;Cold water is want-to-drink-able (for me).&rdquo;
<p>

<p class="bodycopy">And just like that, you can express desires in Japanese. Nice work! Before heading on,
test your mettle as always with my friendly quiz below.</p>
