[LydiaKelle1]

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

[Gabi_Buchner]

I was marked wrong for this.

[JKWolf17]

I want a family

[Jellei]

Misses the verb.

[Dario117560]

would chce mam rodzine work by any chance?

[immery]

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

[Jellei]

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

[JoanieKatz]

Correction was: I wanna have family! LOL ha ha ha

[Azcatral]

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

[Jellei]

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?

[Walkinthedog]

Wanna is a bad contraction of want to

[Jellei]

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

[ClayDean3]

Only in spoken English.

[praytherosary]

Agreed.

[JanKLinde]

I don't think it's a good idea – if you accept 'wanna', what about 'gonna', 'gimme' etc.?

[Jellei]

Luckily they don't ask for those ;)
