Default Re: "i want" - ga hoshi versus tai form

I think your memory is more accurate than the cd on this one.

欲しい(hoshii) means to want/obtain an object.
-たい(-tai) means to feel-like/would-like a verb.

examples:

I want that new B'z album.
あの新しいB'zのアルバム欲しいな。

I want to go buy that new B'z album.
あの新しいB'zのアルバム買いに行きたいな。

I want that girl as my girlfriend.
あの娘に彼女になって欲しい

I would like to make that girl my girlfriend.
あの娘を彼女にしたいな。
