gg5 "want; desire; wish (for)" etc.  - all verbs
  Comments: 
Like 好き/嫌い - essentially impossible to gloss as an adjective.

"wanted;desired" etc. are passive voice, but this is really active, "_I_ want"
we could have a note on this only being used in reference to oneself or in questions posed to others
