When you desire or want something (noun), the expression used is "欲しい" or "ほしい" (hoshii).
Watashi wa kuruma ga hoshii desu. 私は車が欲しいです。 --- I want a car.
When you desire or want to do something (verb - since it's an action), the Japanese expression "verb {stem of masu-form} たい" (tai) is used.
Nani ga tabetai desu ka. 何が食べたいですか。 --- What do you want to eat?
Take note that this expression is only used for first person, so it's always "watashi wa Noun ga hoshii desu". However "watashi wa" is normally omitted as it's obvious that the speaker is talking as the first person.
田中さんは犬 が ほしいです。 X
Note: This sentence is wrong because it's Mr Tanaka's desire
