How to say "I want; I don't want" without a verb?


I know how to say "I want" using たい after a verb, but how a say just "I want,
I don't want" without a verb? Using just たい Or たいくない? And in the past?




You can say it using the word ほしい. For example:

> 新{あたら}しい車{くるま}がほしい。  
>  I want a new car.

ほしい conjugates the same way as a normal i-adjective:

> ほしかった  
>  ほしくない  
>  ほしくなかった

BTW, I don't know if it was just a typo but it should be たくない not たいくない for
the negative form.
