wish′er n.Usage Note: Wish is widely used as a polite substitute for want with infinitives: Do you wish to sit at a table on the terrace? Anyone who wishes to may leave now. This usage is appropriate for formal style, where it is natural to treat the desires of others with exaggerated deference. The corresponding use of wish with a noun-phrase object is less frequent: Anyone who wishes an aisle seat should see an attendant. Both usages are likely to sound stilted in informal style, however, and want may be substituted for wish. · A traditional rule requires the use of were rather than was in a contrary-to-fact statement that follows wish: I wish I were (not was) lighter on my feet. While many people continue to insist on upholding this rule, the indicative was in such clauses can be found in the works of many well-known writers. See Usage Note at if.wish (wɪʃ) vb1. (when: tr, takes a clause as object or an infinitive; when intr, often foll by for) to want or desire (something, often that which cannot be or is not the case): I wish I lived in Italy; to wish for peace. 2. (tr) to feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of: I wish you well. 3. (tr) to desire or prefer to be as specified4. (tr) to greet as specified; bid: he wished us good afternoon. 5. (tr) formal to order politely: I wish you to come at three o'clock. n6. the act of wishing; the expression of some desire or mental inclination: to make a wish. 7. something desired or wished for: he got his wish. 8. (usually plural) expressed hopes or desire, esp for someone's welfare, health, etc9. (often plural) formal a polite order or request[Old English wӯscan; related to Old Norse öskja, German wünschen, Dutch wenschen] ˈwisher n ˈwishless adjwish (wɪʃ)
v.t. 1. to want; desire; long for (usu. fol. by an infinitive or a clause): I wish to travel. I wish that it were morning. 2. to desire (a person or thing) to be (as specified): to wish the matter settled. 3. to entertain hopes or desires regarding the fortunes of: to wish someone well. 4. to bid, as in greeting or leave-taking: to wish someone a good morning. 5. to request or charge: I wish him to come. v.i. 6. to desire; long; yearn (often fol. by for): to wish for a friend. 7. to make a wish. 8. wish on, a. Also, wish off on. to pass or desire to pass (something undesirable) to another (often used in the negative): I wouldn't wish this weather on my worst enemy. b. Also, wish upon. to use as a magical charm while making a wish. n. 9. an act or instance of wishing. 10. a request or command: to disregard someone's wishes. 11. an expression of a hope or desire toward another, often one of a kindly or courteous nature: to send one's best wishes. 12. something wished or desired: to get one's wish. [before 900; (v.) Middle English; Old English wȳscan, c. Old High German wunsken, Old Norse æskja; akin to won2, wynn, Latin venus charm (see Venus)] wish′er, n. wishWish can be a noun or a verb. 1. used as a nounA wish is a longing or desire for something, often something that is difficult to obtain or achieve. She told me of her wish to have a baby.They are motivated by a wish for more freedom.2. used as a verbWhen wish is a verb, it is usually followed by a that-clause. If you wish that something was the case, you would like it to be the case, although you know it is unlikely or impossible. I wish I lived nearer London.We never have enough time and we wish we had more.Be Careful!
Use a past tense in the that-clause, not a present tense. Don't say, for example, 'I wish I have more friends'. Say 'I wish I had more friends'. Don't say 'I wish I have sold my car'. You say 'I wish I had sold my car'. I wish I could help you, but I can't.I envy you. I wish I was going away too.You use the same tense in the that-clause when you are talking about the past as you would use if you were talking about the present. For example, you say 'She wished she lived in Tuscany' and 'She wishes she lived in Tuscany'. The woman wished she could help them.He wished he had phoned for a taxi.When the subject of the that-clause is a singular pronoun such as I or he or a singular noun phrase, you can use either was or were after it. This use of were is rather formal, especially in British English. Sometimes, I wish I was back in Africa.My sister occasionally wished that she were a boy.See wereYou can also use could in the that-clause. I wish I could paint.He wished he could believe her.If you wish that something would happen, you want it to happen, and you are annoyed or worried because it has not happened already. I wish he would hurry up!I wish someone would explain it to me.If you say to someone that you wish they would do something, you want them to do it, and you are annoyed or disappointed because they have not done it already. I wish you would leave me alone.I wish you would find out the facts before you start accusing people.Be Careful!
Don't use 'wish' with a that-clause simply to express a wish for the future. Don't say, for example, 'I wish you'll have a nice time in Finland'. Say 'I hope you'll have a nice time in Finland' or 'I hope you have a nice time in Finland'. I hope I'll see you before you go.I hope you enjoy the play.However, you can sometimes express a wish for the future using wish as a transitive verb with two objects. May I wish you luck in writing your book.He wished the newly wed couple every possible happiness.wish
