“I want to…” in Nepali
mân laagnu : important verb « to want to ». It is used in the indirect speech and therefore the subject has the form « -laï ». When accompanying a verb, the latest will replace its radical with « –naa ».
a) mâlaï chiyaa khaanaa mân laagchhâ. I feel like drinking a tea. b) mâlaï trekking jaanaa mân laagchhâ. I want to go trekking c) tâpaïlaï ke khaana mân laagchhâ?

Do you want: If it’s inside a question, it is possible to emphasize the idea of « wanting » without transforming the phrase into a complex one. This way, in order to ask « do you want to drink tea », Nepalese people will ask you « tâpaï chiya piunuhunchhâ ? – You drink tea? », literally meaning « are you drinking tea? » As a question, the notion of intention is implicit. Some questions examples will follow.
a) tâpaï paani khaannuhunchhâ? Would you like to drink some water? b) tâpaï chiya piunuhunchhâ? Would you like to drink some tea? c) tâpaï mâlaï cumnuhuhuncha? Do you want to hug me? d) tâpaï pheri nepal-maa aaunuhunchhâ? Do you want to come back to Nepal? e) tâpaï mero ghâr-maa aaunuhunchhâ? Do you want to come home? f) tâpaï sâgârmaathaa chaïnuhunchhâ?
