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...
ga is a subject marker not a noun. but for this you want to say o which is an object marker.


mon, ringo o kuu tai.
まんりんごをくう たい!
