[@danhong7108]

Big tip about 원하다 - I have heard and used it regularly in the form 원하는대로, which means "however you want it" or "whatever you want", such as in this sentence: "아침밥을 원하는대로 먹어요" which means "Eat breakfast however you want it" or "Eat whatever you want for breakfast". Of course, you can use "--고 싶은대로" instead, but I personally prefer 원하는대로 because I don't have to worry about a corresponding verb and can more directly express my desire. Like if I wanted to convert the sentence above, it would be: "아침밥을 먹고 싶은대로 하세요". See the difference? 원하는대로 can even mean "in the way you want it", like in this sentence: "아빠가 원하는대로 찌개를 만들었어요" which means "I made stew in the way my dad wants it".

The 원하다 vs -고 싶다 thing is something I've wondered about for a bit already. Thanks!

[@Kimi-xp2th]

Agnieszka Twardosz 원하다 is a verb so you can't use it with other verbs just with nouns. I don't see what's so confusing..

[@agnieszkatwardosz5106]

Kimi97 I just saw these two words but never saw 원하다 used in a sentence so was wondering but hadn't researched it before.

[@Tallefier]

I don't have an issue understanding how the two are different. I mean, one is grammar that is used with verbs, and another is a verb. But, as most cases in daily life 고 싶다 can more naturally be used, I would have liked to see some real life examples of when using 원하다 would be more appropriate and natural. He only mentioned the abstract cases like world peace, but didn't give specific examples. But I guess that's kind of the point, too. It's just not used as often.

[@hyv_lth]

I'm shocked that there are still many answers on websites like italki and hinative that say that "원하다" can be used in everyday sentences like "사과를 원해요". And no one really mentions the fact that it sounds more poetic and isn't used in everyday situations that much. I wonder how many people learned it wrong because of that... Luckily we have ttmik :D

[@iconinyon]

영어 잘하시네요~

[@elizaandreadaki9942]

I had learned that 원하다 is used when you want to express wanting something(aka followed by a noun). For instance. 이 원피스가 원해요. Is it necessary to use i want to buy the dress instead of i want that dress? Or does it sound unnatural?

[@user-Ou38uwHZ3]

You usage of 원하다 is Okay. But your sentence is grammatically unnatural. 이 원피스'를' 원해요. = (I) want this one-piece. 을/를 is use for indicating this is Objective noun. 은/는 or 이/가 is usually used in Subjective noun. Example: Ex1 나'는' 이 원피스'를' 원해요. = I want this one-piece.(* Normal Sentence) Ex2 내'가' 이 원피스'를' 원해요. = I want this one-piece.(* Compared to upper sentence, the proper tranlation is 'The person who want this one-piece is ME.') Return to your Question, 원하다 and ~고 싶다. has difference. Especially to other person who are listening your speaking. 원하다 has meaning 'I want something' and It is "Literal and Direct expressions". For Listener, It can be understand as 'He/She want me to do something'. If the listener and you are not as much friendly, the Listener can think like: 'Is She/He requiring something to me?' or 'Did She/He just order me to do something? What? ', which can be uncomfortable in some case. In Summary, 원하다 is truly Honest Expression. But It can be rude at some situation. (* The sentence you used is probably the phrase when you talk to the clerk as customer. So it has no problem to use 원하다 because you'll pay money for him. :) ) ~고 싶다. has meaning of 'I wish to do something', and indeed this phrase is much softer and indirect, compared to 원하다. And It has a little bit soliloquy properties that means it is non-forcing phrase for Listener.

[@jnkiee]

so basically.. 원하다 = to want something and 고 싶다 = to want

[@solisage]

쪼만해 - i cant help but to think about yoongi ㅎㅎㅎ

[@468strings7]

Billy Go, in his "Korean Made Simple" book (p 76) teaches that 원 합 니 다 is used with nouns and 고 싶 습 니 다 is used with verbs. It appears that you also used only verbs when you used 싶 어 요. I understood your point about adding extra words to transition to 싶 어 요 but what if I only want to make simple sentences using only nouns? Is 저 는 음 식 을 원 합 니 다 o.k? Or does it still sound too poetic?

[@iamnobody8733]

468Strings 저는 음식을 먹고 싶어요. This sounds more natural. but yours was correct in grammar but it's weird and unnatural.

[@iamnobody8733]

468Strings but u nid to specify wat kind of food is it that u want to eat. (that is what usually we do wen we want food.)

[@Tallefier]

My only gripe is that 원합니다 and 고 싶습니다 are not base forms, but deferential forms already conjugated. 원하다 and (verb)+고 싶다 are the base forms than can then be conjugated with any ending or other grammar you wish to use. (ㅂ)니다 and 습니다 are endings of the differential polite speech form, commonly used in interviews, speeches, news reports, and self introductions. They will always appear at the end of a sentence, so I would worry that you might mistakenly try to use this as an original form and conjugate it further when you shouldn't. Example, if you wanted to use quoted speech style. 먹고 싶어요 and turn that into 먹고 싶다고 했어요. Or use the shortened 먹고 싶다고요 to indicate that you said you want to eat already, and needed to remind someone. Writing 먹고 싶습니다고 했어요 would be tempting to use if you didn't understand that ㅂ니다 is the deferential ending and not the plain form ending that is required to conjugate further with quoted speech. Even more confusing trying that with 원합니다 as the plain form for that involved ㄴ/는 because it is a verb. So quoted speech for that should be 원한다고 했어요. 원합니다 leaves no room to include the (ㄴ) required for plain form, and writing 원합닌다고 했어요 would be even more messed up! But aside from that, in most cases using (verb)+고 싶다 is usually more natural. Especially for something like food which you would almost always be using with 먹다. I guess things without obvious action verbs to use with it, like abstract concepts that 현우 mentioned, such as world peace, then 원하다 would be more prevalent. Also, even the phrase 저는 음식을 원합니다 sounds a bit funny to me because of the context required to be comfortable enough to make a request for wanting food, but still using the deferential form ㅂ니다. I mean, it's not grammatically wrong, but ㅂ니다 is usually used in specific situations that involve some professionalism, so in that environment I just think it would be a weird thing to say, haha.

[@yangjeongin4053]

So -고 싶다 is for verbs, like you want to ( verb ). While 원하다 is a verb itself that means to want , right?
