vsi želimo, da bi se kmalu vzpostavil mir we all wish that peace may soon be restored
želéti komu srečo to wish someone luck, to wish someone, well
kakor želite as you please, just as you wish
tega ne bi še psu želel! (ZDA) it shouldn't happen to a dog!
želim van srečno novo leto! I wish you a happy New Year!
želim ti vse najboljše k rojstnemu dnevu! many happy returns of the day!
kaj si želiš za svoj rojstni dan? what would you like for your birthday?
hoteti in želéti je dvoje, ni isto willing and wishing are not the same thing
