Desire vs like #2 (permalink) Sun Dec 11, 2005 8:24 am   Desire vs like		  
DESIRE means to have a strong longing for, to covet, to wish. It is much stronger than like. Usually we desire something which is difficult or impossible to get, for example “desire peace”.
LIKE expresses a preference.
If you like, we can meet you there.

Success! Smile
