～たいものだ・してほしいものだ: Things we *really* want to do

Introduction

Today, we're going to cover an advanced way to talk about things you want to do, or want others to do. There's going to be... a lot of wanting. So go on, think of something you really want to do. For me, you already know it's going to involve food, but unfortunately, today's grammar point doesn't work too well with that kind of desire. I guess I'll just have to have a snack while I figure out what to say instead...
