    The verb prendere generally means to take, but when used with food and drinks it means to have.

    prendere
    (io) prendo (noi) prendiamo
    (tu) prendi (voi) prendete
    (lui, lei, Lei) prende (loro) prendono
     

    The verb volere means to want. The form vorrei [I would like; I wish] literally means I would want, and it is more polite than voglio [I want]. Therefore, when ordering or expressing a polite request, use vorrei.

    volere
    (io) voglio (noi) vogliamo
    (tu) vuoi (voi) volete
    (lui, lei, Lei) vuole (loro) vogliono
