[Ver003] Хоте'ть - irregular*

Хоте́т

Another very common verb, important to know. It means to want

Our first verb with a changing stem(I mention this in one of the posts about conjugation), although it will seem familiar(half of it is conjugated like a type I, the other half like a type II verb... as I see it anyway)

You can use this in conjunction with other verbs... like in English, you can say I want to sleep, for example. So you just add the infinitive.

Ex:

Курить хочу́ - I want to smoke.

Пить хочу́ - I want to drink.

• Notice you can change the order of the words and leave out я and retain the meaning of the sentence, because it is still clear what is meant.

Она́ хо́чет спать - She wants to sleep.
