hi,
I was wondering whats the difference between using the verb Je veux and J'ai besoin de nouvelle voiture? I thought that it can mean the same thing when using Je veux nouvelle voiture.
thanks

Hi Nicole,
Vouloir (veux) --> Wish / desire / envy
Avoir besoin de --> need / necessity
So to take your example "Je veux / J'ai besoin de a new car
You want /wish/desire versus You need/have a necessity for a new car.
Hope this helps
