In Japan we use the word “欲望(よくぼう-yokubou)” for the English word “Desire”. And we have a few similar meaning words which are also used when we translate “Desire” into Japanese. The following words are some examples; “欲求(よっきゅう-yokkyuu)” and “願望(がんぼう-ganbou)” etc.
And for some related words such as “Avarice” or “Greed”, we use “貪欲(どんよく-donyoku)” or “強欲(ごうよく-gouyoku)” in Japan.
