and here comes the grammar
it's about the auxilliary verbs today
and so I am adding tzarich even though it doesn't appear in the dialogue
*********************************************************************************want: ratzah (he wanted) lirtzot (infinitive)
like lamad and halach the 2nd p.pl. loses its first vowel
ratziti
ratzita
ratzit
ratzah
ratztah
ratzinou
r'tzitem
r'tziten
ratzou
*********************************************************************************
can / to be able to : yachol (he could/ he was able to) and it does not have an infinitive
but the conjugation is very regular

yachlah
yacholnou
yacholtem
yacholten
yachlou
*********************************************************************************
need / must / to have to: hayah tzarich (he had to) lehitztarech (infinitive)

hayiti tzarich
hayita tzarich
hayit tzarich
hayah tzarich
haytah tzarich
hayinou
