This afternoon as I was ordering lunch, I looked at the menu and wondered what to drink with my meal. I decided on tea. As I waited, I thought about how to say I want tea in Hebrew.<\/p>\n

The Hebrew verb meaning ‘to want’ is \u05dc\u05e8\u05e6\u05d5\u05ea<\/span> (leer-TSOHT). It’s pretty regular when conjugating it, especially in the present tense. Here it is in it’s conjugated form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b6\u05d4<\/span><\/td>\n\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b8\u05d4<\/span><\/td>\n\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span><\/td>\n\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Just four forms is all that’s needed for this article. So let’s see how we use this in conversation. In the first example, we’ll use the masculine form \u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b6\u05d4<\/span>. Listen for it:<\/p>\n

\u05d0\u05ea\u05d4 \u05e8\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4 \u05de\u05d9\u05e5 \u05dc\u05d9\u05de\u05d5\u05e0?<\/span>

\n2. What did he want instead?<\/p>\n

Here we’ll ask a woman what she wants.<\/p>\n

Now that you want something, what if you want to go somewhere? This is done by adding on “\u05dc\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05e1\u05d5\u05b9\u05e2\u05b7” (to travel, go, drive, ride, journey, voyage) after \u05e8\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4<\/span>:<\/p>\n
