How do you say someone wants to do something? How would I say "My mother wants to clean her room."? I wrote out this, but it seems more like "I want my mother to clean the room" 제 엄마는 방을 청소하고 싶어요. Is it just a matter of topic and subject marking particles, or am I really missing something here?

"My mother wants to clean her room." -> 엄마가 방을 청소하고 싶어한다. -> 엄마는 방을 청소하고 싶어한다. "I want my mother to clean the room" -> (나는) 엄마가 방을 청소하기를 바란다. -> (나는) 엄마가 방을 청소했으면 좋겠다.

"My mother wants to clean her room." 저희 엄마는 엄마의 방을 청소하고 싶어하세요. * "저희" is more natural than "제" "I want my mother to clean the room" 엄마가 그 방을 청소해주셨으면 좋겠어요. * It would be better to use a respectful form.

Hi! I asked a different forum. I'm not 100% sure about this, but someone said this may be how you say it. 제 엄마는 엄마의 방을 청소하고 싶어요.

I'm a total beginner, but maybe just take out 제. I think there might be a particle to put on 어마 to designate it is her room instead of 제. I am looking forward to the answers posted!
