        never. you have to use infinitive or a noun after chcieć.

        No. If what you want is a verb, then the verb needs to be in an infinitive form.

          So, does this mean Polish doesn't have any subjunctive verbs?

          I'm not sure why you're asking about that here (but maybe I'm just too tired), could you specify what verb would you expect here?

            in the UK people would say - 'I want a family' no need for '..to have...'

            Wanna is a bad contraction of want to

            Yeah, but people use it relatively common, so it seems acceptable.

              Yeah, we do.

              No, I don't believe 'the' makes sense in this sentence.

                maybe if you're a super evil villain and want to get a hold of the family for some leverage ;)
