Desire vs like Sun Dec 11, 2005 9:24 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
