[quote=LEONARDO,235163]In Chinese, yao(要) or xiang(想) is usually combined with other verbs together to express future plans, actions or hopes .Maybe, it is better to give you some examples. "Wo yao qu Beijing"(我要去北京) means that you plan to go to Beijing, or you are leaving for Beijing. " wo yao" refers to sth that is certain (or very likely) to happen. "Wo xiang qu Beijing"(我想去北京)means that you hope/dream/wish to visit Beijing. It is only a dream or wish. It may come true,or may not. "wo xiang" often refers to a wish or dream . Additionally,"yao(要)" is often used as a transitive verb. For instance, "wo yao yi bei shui"( 我要一杯)indicates that " i want/need a cup of water". Hopefully, the above will be useful for you.[/quote]
