To say "I want" in Russian, we use the word "хотеть." Here are some ways to use it in everyday sentences:

1. Simple phrases:

   • If you want to say "I want to eat," you say: "Я хочу есть."
   • If you want to say "I want to drink," say: "Я хочу пить."
   • For "I want to go," it’s: "Я хочу идти."
   • And to say "I want to work," you say: "Я хочу работать."

2. How it works:

   • When you say "Я" (which means "I"), you usually say it with "хочу" (which means "want").

3. Let’s practice:

   • You can create your own sentences! For example, if you want to say "I want to read," you say: "Я хочу читать."

By learning this simple way to speak, you can tell people what you want to do in Russian every day!
