Want to read in Japanese 🇯🇵

よみたい info.

Tips to Remember the Japanese Word:
"よみたい" (yomitai) can be remembered by breaking it down: "よみ" (yomi) comes from the verb "読む" (yomu) which means "to read", and "たい" (tai) is a suffix that expresses desire. So, "よみたい" literally means "want to read."

Explanations:
– よみ (yomi): Root form of 読む (yomu) meaning "to read."
– たい (tai): Suffix that expresses a desire to do something.

Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:
– 読みたい (yomitai) itself is a unique conjugation, but here are synonyms in context:
– 読む意思がある (yomu ishi ga aru): Have the intention to read.
– 読もうと思う (yomou to omou): Thinking of reading.

Conjugations:
– Infinitive: 読む (yomu) – to read
– Present: よみたい (yomitai) – want to read
– Past: よみたかった (yomitakatta) – wanted to read
– Negative: よみたくない (yomitakunai) – do not want to read
– Past Negative: よみたくなかった (yomitakunakatta) – did not want to read
– Future: In Japanese, context usually indicates the future tense, and よみたい can imply future intention as well.
