Questions & Answers about wǒ xiǎng zhuǎnzhàng.

What does 想 mean here? Does it mean think or want to?

Here, 想 means would like to / want to.

In Mandarin, 想 can have more than one meaning depending on context:

• 想 + verb = want to do something
  
  • 我想转账。 = I want to make a transfer.
• 想 + clause / idea can also mean think
  
  • 我想他今天不来。 = I think he’s not coming today.
• It can also mean miss someone
  
  • 我想你。 = I miss you.

In 我想转账, the pattern is clearly 想 + action, so the meaning is want to.

Why is the word order 我想转账?
