Question about English (US)
cuál es la forma más correcta de expresar ALGUN DESEO? pregunto porque yo en todo quiero usar " WANT" 😅😅 y a veces me pongo a dudar en si el verbo que expresa mejor al sentimiento debe ser " wish", " I would like , "I'd love " 😑
por ejemplo, si quiero decir "quisiera viajar a Brasil" , " Quiero viajar a USA", "Deseo visitar Korea", " Quiero estar allá, con ustedes ", " anhelo verlos"
( tenía más ejemplos pero ya se me olvidaron)
hay alguna regla para distinguirlos?
(graciaaas^^)

I want = quiero = más directo, puede ser maleducado; "I want a beer! Give it to me now!!"
I would like / I'd like = querría, quisiera = más educado; "I would like a beer. Please may I have one?"
I wish = más hipotetico; "I wish I had a million dollars"
I'd love = bastante hipotetico también; "I'd love to date Taylor Swift"
I desire = deseo = muy formal y inusual; "I desire more money"
Otros:
"I could totally go for a beer right now"
"I'm dying for a beer"
"It would be great if I could get a beer"
"I'd kill for a beer"
