You want in German 🇩🇪

Du willst info.

**Tips to Remember “Du willst”:**

– “Willst” sounds somewhat similar to “wilt,” as in “You wilt do something.” Since the verb “wilt” in English is less common, you might remember it as something special, much like your intention when you really want something.
– Connect “willst” with “will,” which is also the English word to represent future intention or desire. Remember that “You will” can also mean “You want to” in a more determined sense.

**Explanations:**

– “Du willst” is from the verb “wollen,” which means “to want.” It’s an irregular (strong) verb in German.
– “Du” is the informal you, used when speaking to one person you know well, like a friend or family member.
– “Willst” is the second person singular present indicative form of “wollen.”

**Other Words That Mean the Same Thing:**

– “Du möchtest” – This is more polite and could be translated as “You would like.”
– “Du begehrst” – This is a little more poetic and intense, used less commonly, and means “You desire.”
