        你好Benny!
If I say 我要喝咖啡。and 我想喝咖啡。do they have the same meaning?
Are both translated as “I want to drink coffee”?
谢谢你!
再见!

 |  |  |  | Hi,Iury! 我想喝咖啡,我要喝咖啡,They have a similar meaning, 要means i want.想means*I would like*. By the way,When 想plus a verb, it means would like, but when it plus a noun, it means*think about*/miss. Be Careful! |  |  |
