Hi guys.
In most definitions of ほしい it is described as 'to want', though in English to want is a verb. Would it be accurate to say that ほしい means 'that which is desirable'? In that case, I could make of ほしい being defined as an adjective. Otherwise, I don't really understand how 'to want' can be considered an adjective.
Any help appreciated.
