The english verb “To Want” or “To need” in Marathi is “पाहिजे असणे (pAhije asaNe)/ हवे असणे (have asaNe).

Sentence formation is little different in Marathi.

In English we say, “I want mango”. It can also be said as “Mango is wanted to me”. Marathi sentence structure is similar to second way.

Form of subject	object	पाहिजे/ form of हवा as per object	form of  “असणे” as per object
मला (malA)	आंबा (AMbA)	पाहिजे/ हवा (pAhije/havA)	आहे (Ahe)

I want mago      -> मला आंबा पाहिजे/हवा आहे (malA AMbA pAhije/havA Ahe)

He wants mago ->  त्याला आंबा पाहिजे/हवा आहे  (tyAlA AMbA pAhije/havA Ahe)

She wants mago -> तीला आंबा पाहिजे/हवा आहे  (tIlA AMbA pAhije/havA Ahe  )

As you see, the object “mango” is same in all sentences. So verb formation is same for all sentences i.e. “पाहिजे आहे / हवा आहे”. Only the form of subject “to me”, ”to him” , “to her” are used.

Suppose object is changed to “mangoes” i.e. masculine plural so sentences will be

I/He/She want magos      -> मला / त्याला/ तीला तीला आंबे पाहिजे/हवे आहेत (malA / tyAlA / tIlA  AMbe pAhije/have Ahet

)

See the verb changed to “हवे”, this is same as we had seen in article about adjectives (Remember   काळा/काळी/काळे ??!!!). Form of supporting verb is changed “आहेत”. This is also same as per the rules of simple present tense.

Just for your reference the form of “हवे” can be summarized as

	Singular	Plural
Masculine	हवा (havA)	हवे (have)
Feminie	हवी (havI)	हव्या (havyA)
Neuter	हवे (have)	हवी (havI)

Negative sentence:-
In English we will say negative sentence as, "I do not want", "I did not want" etc.

The sentence structure of negative sentence is similar to positive sentence. Only instead of “पाहिजे/ हवा”(pAhije/hava) we will use नको (nako)

Form of subject	object	नको (nako)	form of  “असणे” as per object
मला (malA)	आंबा (AMbA)	नको (nako)	आहे (Ahe)

Examples :-

I do not want mango:- मला आंबा नको आहे (malA AMbA nako Ahe)

She will not want bag:- तीला पेटी नको असेल  (tIlA peTI nako asel)

He did not want chalk :- त्याला खडू नको होता (tyAlA khaDU nako hotA)

He did not want bag :- त्याला पेटी नको होती (tyAlA peTI nako hotI)

There is another way to create negative sentences. But it is NOT preferred way. 

A positive sentence can be converted to negative sentence by replacing पाहिजे(pAhije) with नाही पाहिजे(nAhI pAhije) 

Examples :- 

I do not want mango:- मला आंबा नाही पाहिजे (malA AMbA nAhI pAhije)
She does not want ice-cream :- तीला आईसक्रीम नाही पाहिजे(tIlA AIsakrIm nAhI pAhije)
He did not want chalk :- त्याला खडू नाही पाहिजे होता (tyAlA khaDU nAhI pAhije hotA)

Using verb लागणे(lAgaNe)

A want is something you would like to have. It is not absolutely necessary, but it would be a good thing to have. A good example is music.

So to indicate "To need" in colloquial Marathi, we use verb लागणे(lAgaNe).
Sentence structure is same as above

Form of subject	object	form of  लागणे(lAgaNe) as per object
मला (malA)	बादली (bAdalI )	लागते (lAgate)

I need bucket -> मला बादली लागते (malA bAdalI lAgate )

I will need bucket -> मला बादली लागेल (malA bAdalI lAgel)

My car needs lot of petrol -> माझ्या गाडीला खूप पेट्रोल लागते (mAjhyA gADIlA khUp peTrol lAgate)
