Some verbs are just more useful than others. Att vilja, Swedish for &#;to want (to)&#;, is no exception!
Att vilja is the full infinitive form &#; in other words, it includes the basic infinitive form vilja, &#;want (to do something)&#;, and att, &#;to&#; as used before a verb. (More on this in a later post.) The verb is irregular, so here is a conjugation table fresh out of the Swedish verb oven for you:
INFINITIVE | |
att vilja | to want to |
PRESENT | |
jag vill | I want to |
PRETERITE (SIMPLE PAST) | |
jag ville | I wanted to |
SUPINE | |
jag har velat | I have wanted to |
jag hade velat | I had wanted to (also: I would have wanted to) |
CONDITIONAL | |
jag skulle vilja | I would want to (also: I would like to) |
jag skulle ha velat | I would have wanted to (also: I would have liked to) |
FUTURE | |
jag kommer (att) vilja | I will want to (att is optional with future kommer) |
jag kommer ha velat | I will have wanted to (also: I will have liked to) |
En vilja is also a noun meaning a will, as in one&#;s will to do something.
One important thing to keep in mind about the verb vilja, in particular its present form vill, is not to confuse
