    Sure. After you retype that in English. (I bet there's some profound point I'm missing here, but still)

    the literal translation is:
    i want that lil girl dance

    but it is:
    i want the lil girl to dance

    that is why i hate spanish, they give a whole nother tense to something when they could just use the infinitive

    Mors: I have a language you'll like better

    It's up to you if you want to hate Spanish, but the reason could be that you really haven't learned it very well!

    It's:
    Yo quiero que la chiquita baile.
    You left out the definite article, which is required far more often in Spanish than in English.

    And the literal translation is:
    I desire that the little girl shall dance.

    "Baile" is in the subjunctive. That's not a tense, but a mode. We have modes in English as well:
    If I were king, I would fire the president.
    "Were" is in the subjunctive mode, and "would fire" is in the conditional mode.

    If you want a language with a butt-simple grammar, study Chinese. No tense, no mode, no number, no gender. No endings at all! No articles, no prepositions.
    Today I eat one sandwich. Yesterday I eat two sandwich.
    Who needs the damn endings anyway?

    Wo yao nyu haizi tiaowu.
    I want female child dance.

    Is that a simple enough grammar fer ya!
