Reading "A Beleza Total", by Carlos Drummond de Andrade

I'll talk about how to say ' I want ice cream naturally. You'll learn how to use ' V고 싶다' Vs  'N 원하다'  in this episode.  *V :verb  *N:noun
To say 'to want' 'V고 싶다' is more commonly used in everyday conversations. Whereas 'N 원하다' is not that frequently used because it is more poetic, formal, and literate.

I want to go there. 거기 가고 싶어요.  *거기 there  가다 * to do
I want to eat it.        그거 먹고 싶어요.  *그거 that thing  *먹다 to eat
I want to sleep.        (잠)  자고 싶어요.  *(잠) 자다 to sleep
I want to dance.            춤 추고 싶어요.  *춤 추다 to dance

I want ice cream.        아이스크림 먹고 싶어요.
I want ice water.        시원한 물 마시고 싶어요.   *시원한 물 ice water *마시다 to drink
I want a new iPhone.  새 아이폰 사고 싶어요.     *새 아이폰 new iPhone  *사다 to buy
