Japanese Language 「Verbs」 「Te form」 「Part 10」 「Vte+hoshii・てほしい」 "want (someone) to do" Vte hoshii is used to express the desire to have someone (marked by the particle ni) do something. This someone is not supposed to be of a higher status than the speaker. This pattern is used with first person with declarative sentences (ex. 1) and in the second person with interrogative sentences (ex. 2). Examples: 私は南さんにこの手紙を読んでほしい。 Watashi wa Minami-san ni kono tegami o yonde hoshii. I want Miss Minami to read this letter. あなたはだれに日本語を教えてほしいですか。 Anata wa dare ni Nihongo o oshiete hoshii desu ka. Who do you want to teach you Japanese? ホテルの予約を確認してほしいです。 Hoteru no yoyaku o kakunin shite hoshii desu. I want you to confirm the reservation at the hotel. Hope this helps! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °こゆうきあいはら°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
