"Why do you want to go to Spain?"

Translation: 为什么你想去西班牙？

[brooknoe]

This doesn't feel very natural at all. Normally when someone asks me "why" about something, they put it after 你。

[ElderKasu]

Agreed. Thankfully both are correct

[OsoGegenHest]

Both are fine.

[AlexanderK218814]

In some questions Duo places 你 before "why" and in some after. And in each question correct solution can be only one (?!). You have to guess coorectly. What is the difference and what is correct?

[wadenbeisser]

Why can I put the 为什么 in front here and in other lessons not?

[SzymonRuci]

bc it's duolingo ¯_(ツ)_/¯
btw “你为什么…？” sounds better

[CavemantheGreat]

Any reason 想 is acceptable but 要 isn't?

[ZhaoSi1]

From what i've seen, 要 can also mean "need to" but both 想 and 要 have a "want to" meaning. I think 要 should also be accepted though.

[Tim498029]

Should this marked as correct?

'你想为什么去西班牙.'

[ChiNane]

I second that question.

[Gio929911]

Why 要 is not acceptable?

[DenisDmir]

I'm not a native speaker, and only learning chinese from duo, but i think 要 is want in front of nouns and in front of verbs it's closer to will.

I think in some sence you can say that 会 is will-can and 要 is will-want.

But i really want a native speaker to clarify it and tell if i'm right or wrong.

[QuintanillaJon]

要 should be acceptable here. 要 expresses a real desire vs 想 which expresses more of a casual interest.

A friend told me 要 is used when you are going to do something. So I think it would translate out to 'why are you going to Spain'. I still choose wrong between 要 and 想, a lot.
