Today I am going to share the Q&A quoted from my JLPT N5 course!

 

[Student’s question]

 

Sensei,
ピザが食べたいです。
can we say ピザを食べたいです also?
Or should we take が with たい?

We can use both.

A verb that takes the particle を can have either the particle を or が when it is followed by たい.

ピザを食べたいです。
I want to eat pizza.

ピザが食べたいです。
I want to eat pizza.（Emphasizing ピザ）

The meanings of the two sentences are the same.
を is the object marker, and が, in this case, is the emphasis marker.
The difference is that a noun before が is emphasized more than when it is simply an object before を.

 

I hope my answer helps you.😊
