"I want to eat an apple".

note: "kuu" is a very rough word, you should avoid using it in polite conversation.
I see, maybe i can use it jokingly lol...

minna! ringo ga man kuu tai!
みんな! りんご が まん くう たい!
everyone! i want to eat 10,000 apples!

Here, ringo and ga is a noun each, man kuu tai are the verb, am i right?

Does that sound ok? I mean, in a less serious context like talking to a close friend. Of course i won't try to tell a stranger that i want to eat 10,000 apples lol...
