Answer

talking infront of a mic in a formal ceremony? or writing in bahasa melayu exam, then use hendak..when speaking to a random guy on a walk or to your friend just use nak... when talk to an indonesian use mahu..we malaysian seldom use mahu unless you are expressing a desire... saya mahukan kamu...i want you... saya mahu kamu semua dengar saya sekarang...i want all of you listen to me now..

Answer

--> Same meaning (Want)

* mahu (formal)
* hendak (common used)
* nak (shortform of hendak)

Answer

nak is the shortform of hendak. In daily conversation we love to use shortform, so we use nak.
.
I want to eat.
Saya nak makan. 
.
Mahu is same meaning but we use nak more than mahu. 
.
But it's good for u to know many meaning... bcz different people have diff word that they love to use.  ^_^
