Quand j'ai envie de la viande— This was my answer to one of the writing exercises. I wrote de la, the correct answer omitted the la. The prompt was—When I want meat...Despite reading the other items in the the discussion, it still is not clear to me whether or not to use the article. It is my understanding that de la or du are partitive articles and one is required if you’re not using a definite article in most cases. I can see a relationship to the the negation pattern. I have no bread—Je n’ai pas de pain. This usage is merely something I think that I have memorized. I can’t actually explain the grammar points involved. Please clarify. Thank you!

Julie a vraiment envie de chocolat = May I ask why this does not read as du chocolat? Since it's le chocolat? Or is it because in this context, this refers to some chocolat - but even then I didn't understand why du gets dropped - wouldn't it be envie du chocolat?

Marnie C1 Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor
Oh now I see...I need a new car would be ‘j’ai besoin d’acheter une nouvelle voiture’!
Marnie C1 Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor
actually i do not understand. For me it would be useful to know how often avoir envie de is used to mean ´need’ and in what context. How is it different from ´avoir besoin dé’ . And when does one use n’avoir envie dque ´ and when to use expressions with ´vouloir’.
Marnie C1 Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor
But you give ´I need a new’ something in the lesson. Perhaps that usage could be removed....? Merci.
Marnie C1 Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Hi if de changes to du,de la des ... Why is it "J'ai envie de chocolat"
Aurélie Kwiziq team member Correct answer
J'ai envie de chocolat. I feel like chocolate. J'ai envie du chocolat que tu m'avais offert pour mon anniversaire. I feel like the chocolate you'd given me for my birthday.
Ron C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor
Bonsoir Alison,
I think the answer lies in the fact that «avoir envie de» is a fixed expression. In reviewing the lesson, all of the phrases construct similarly regardless of what is desired be it a masculine or feminine noun.
Bonne chance.

In expressing need, when would one use, "avoir envie de," and when, "avoir besoin de?"

Bonjour Susan, To express need, you'd only use avoir besoin de, which means "to need." Avoir envie de means "to want."

What is the difference between veux and envie
Aurélie Kwiziq team member Correct answer
Bonjour Ruba,
"Veux" is from "vouloir" which means "to want."
"Envie" is used in the expression "avoir envie" which means "to feel like."
Bonjour Ruba,
You might have encountered the sentence "J'ai envie de toi" meaning "I want you" in a loving way in French. "Je te veux" in that context would be much less romantic!

What is the difference between veux and envie

The French expression avoir envie de has different meanings, such as to feel like, to want or, in some cases, to need .
Note that when the object is specific - i.e. I want the chocolate I bought yesterday - de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it, as it contracts de + le,la,l',les - of the .
To express to feel like [doing something] / to want or to need [to do something] , you will use avoir envie de / d' + infinitive of the verb .
See also the verb vouloir (to want):

Either would be understood but in my experience just to say "Je vais prendre ...." would be perfectly polite and sound more natural.
Thank you, Jim. Bonne journée à vous aussi.

Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du
Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).
Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.
Thank you for your comment! The lesson has now been updated.

J'ai envie d'une nouvelle voiture" means: select ... I need a new car... envy his new car.. want a new car.. they want “I want a new car”..
shouldn’t it be “I would like”?.. would not I want be je veux?
Just to go back to the Kwiz question the 3 possible answers were -
The only possible answer is 'I want a new car'
I would say that another translation might have been -
But the point is that to want here is like to feel like having and not 'to envy' or 'to need'
But an interesting discussion nevertheless!
There is more than one way to say most things. Avoir envie de is usually translated closer to want/desire/feel like and similar, than ‘to like’. In terms of a new car, I think the translation is in keeping with English - we are more likely to say ‘want a new car’ than ‘desire/feel like a new car’ in most circumstances.

Hi Maarten.. not sure.. I would tend to use je veut for want and avoir envie for I would like.. am thinking that there is a very definite difference in English.. for me, want is verging on need.. .vouloir or Avoir besoin.. the problem is in the nuance of the English, not in the French... and the lesson is on the nuance in the French so that nuance needs to reflect in the translation.
Have checked the lesson and they equate want with like.. for a child yes, like, want and need run together.. but not, I would suggest for an adult where, as I say, want equates more nearly to need.. wanting means lacking.. in want means in need.
Mark, “would like” introduces the conditional to the English translation. The sentence in French is not in the conditional - “j’aurais envie de..” would be closer to “I would like” in English.
Now that is asking an even bigger question!.. and. Maybe a hidden distinction implicit in the laziness of the English language.
However getting back to the issue.. like, want, need.. my point is that “want” in English should imply a degree of lack or need and should not be seen as synonymous with “would like”... I cannot remember the exact quote but “for want of a horse the battle was lost” and people who are destitute are “in want” or “wanting”
If we look at the French synonyms for envie (noun) versus the verbs vouloir / souhaiter / désirer it is very difficult to distinguish between them -- they all mean in French more or less the same thing.
So I think that it comes down to the intention in the mind of the speaker or writer and the context of the dialog.
I don't agree however that to write "would like" means the same thing -- this is introducing a conditional element which is less strong than the synonyms mentioned above.
This is how I see it for what it is worth.
Yes.. kwiziq gets round the problem with “feel like” which could be interpreted as being reflexive? However I hold to the distinction that if you are going to have a hierarchy of avoir envie through avoir besoin to devoir in French, you cannot ignore the similar hierarchy in English from would like, desire, want and need.. must to imperative.. which I think this question has got wrong.
And the more I think, I think would like is a compound verb where the simple “like” would be unintelligible..i cannot see any conditionality as it is simply expressing a mild desire.
I am having no problems seeing the distinctions in the French.. it is the English that is the problem!
I think "I would like" would also be acceptable, but as Maarten says, there is more than one way to say things. There is one "I would like" translation in the lesson, but it's written "I'd like".
"Want", in the sense of lacking, is a distinct meaning - probably this would be "manquer". I don't think you "want a new car" in that sense.
Guys, you're way overthinking this. You'll go off the deep end if you take idiomatic expressions in two languages and try to reason them out on a grammatic level. Just accept that in a situation where an English speaker would say, "I would like a new car," his French vis-a-vis will most frequently use the expression "J'ai envie d'une nouvelle voiture."
In another situation, the French guy says "J'ai envie de vomir," where his English opposite would say, "I'm going to throw up."
And I thought it was a simple question!... thinking even more OTT.. You cannot feel like an ice cream.. the phrase is a shortcut for “i have a feeling that I would like”..
And think we are agreed that avoir envie de corresponds pretty well with I would like... implying a penchant for rather than any rational desire... Want probably has a range of meanings although, as I have been saying, I could, personally, never equate it with avoir envie de... and I can never get this question right unless I learn to make what I believe to be an incorrect response.
J'ai envie d'une nouvelle voiture" means: select ... I need a new car... envy his new car.. want a new car.. they want “I want a new car”..
shouldn’t it be “I would like”?.. would not I want be je veux?

There are verbal phrases which require de, such as avoir envie de, or avoir besoin de qqc . Your question looks like a case of the partitive article but it is treated a bit differently. The things that follow avoir envie de (and similar phrases) often refer to the general class and not a particular item. In the general case, you omit the definite article.
J'ai envie de viande . -- I want meat . (General case; note that there's no article in English as well.) J'ai envie de la viande qui se trouve sur ton assiette. -- I want the meat that is on your plate. (Specific case, also with definite article in English.)
Maybe you'll find the discussion in this related question useful:
The partitive article is omitted after the preposition "de", to avoid the awkward sounding "de de". This rule is known as "la règle de cacophonie".
But Chris's explanation does not work with "avoir peur de" or "avoir horreur de", etc. The point is that it's never the definite article that is omitted, only the partitive. So in the "general class" case you have to decide whether the definite article is appropriate.
"J’ai horreur de la viande." I hate meat. (in general)

Elle a envie de chocolat. -- She wants chocolate. This refers to some general chocolate, not a specific kind or piece of chocolate.
