I wanna say the following:

"I'd like that we had (something)".

Can I say:

"I'd like we had (something)"?

I remember something like this from English classes.

  • the latter one is also correct – Archie Azares May 15 '18 at 00:59
  • Both of them sound like "translation English," specifically word-for-word translation that does not sound idiomatic in English. See the answer by @Pixelomo for a good alternative. Or I wish we had... – Arm the good guys in America May 15 '18 at 18:38
  • "Wanna" is not standard English. You may also remember that from English classes. But you are on the wrong site. Try English Language Learners. – David May 16 '18 at 18:21
  • Colloquially in U.S. English one of the most common ways to frame statements of the type you are asking about is to say, "I wish that we had (something)." – Sven Yargs May 18 '18 at 05:28

Shortest form I can think of that feels better grammatically:

"I'd like us to have.."
