欲しい - Wiktionary
2018-10-3 · The act of wanting something in Japanese, unlike in English, is usually denoted by an adjective (欲しい) instead of with a verb ("to want"). A verb denoting willingness (欲 (ほっ) する (hossuru)) exists, but its usage is quite uncommon. The usage of this word can be considered overly direct or childish.
