Japanese

<p>
	In the same way in which to like or dislike is expressed using adjectives in Japanese, to say that you want a thing (a noun) 
	you use the adjective <strong>ほしい</strong>. Because <strong>ほしい</strong> is an adjective and not a verb, you use the 
	subject particle <strong>が</strong> after the desired object. Check out the example sentences below to see how <strong>ほしい</strong>
	is used in context.
