I found the following translation in the practice sentences:
If we go to see a movie…
えいが を み に いきたかったら…I’m pretty sure this is いける, not いく.
I’m also pretty sure this verb is conjugated as if it were a noun.Or did I miss something ?
パンツ見せて貰ってもよろしいですか。It’s いきたい “want to go”. The ～たい suffix conjugates as an い-adjective. The English translation is incorrect in that sentence (should be “If we wanted to go see a movie, I want to go to Cineplex”… or something like that – I’m recounting it from memory, here)
I see it now. :)
I was mislead by the translation, and failed to recognize the ～たい form. Which is indeed rightfully conjugated like an adjective.
The second confusion sure didn’t help dissipating the first one.Thanks.
パンツ見せて貰ってもよろしいですか。Aye, the ～たい is often difficult to spot when it’s conjugated. =)
