Desea

Desea is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Spanish verb desear, meaning to desire, to wish for, or to want something. It is used for he, she, or you formal (usted) in the present tense.

In everyday language, dese a expresses a wish or desire about things, people, or events. It can take a direct object, as in “Él desea un descanso” (He desires a rest), or it can introduce a subordinate clause with the subjunctive, as in “Desea que todo salga bien” (He wishes that everything goes well). It is also common in formal speech or customer-service contexts, such as “¿Qué desea usted?” (What would you like?).

Desear is a regular -ar verb. The present indicative forms are: yo deseo, tú deseas, él/ella/Ud. desea, nosotros deseamos, vosotros deseáis, ellos/ellas/Uds. desean. The verb has other tenses and moods (for example, deseo/desaba in different forms), but dese a is specifically the present singular form used for third-person reference.

Etymologically, desear comes from the Latin desiderare, meaning to long for or to require. In Spanish, it is closely related in meaning to querer, though desear often conveys a milder or more formal sense of wishing.

Translations of dese a include to desire, to wish for, or to want. It appears across Spanish-speaking communities in both spoken and written forms, from everyday conversation to formal correspondence.
