Q:
Покажите мне примеры предложений с as you wish.
A:
Personally, I feel that 'as you wish' carries a different meaning and tone depending on when you use it
'as you wish' can be used by a person of lower status in response to the request or demand of a person of higher status.
Eg. A king and his attendant/servant/anybody who is beneath him (his subjects)
King: "Get me my arrows, I'm going hunting."
Attendant: As you wish, my king.
In modern days, you'll probably hear these words being spoken by a man to his woman.
Eg. Girlfriend/lover/wife: "How about dining at that restaurant?"
Man: As you wish, my lady.
In Japanese, it should be "お望み通りに"
Another example which carries a different meaning would be "do as you wish".
A: I don't care! I'm going home now!
B: Do as you wish.
In this case, it means the same as 'do whatever you like' or "do as you please". Usually, the phrase is said in a negative tone that suggest boredom, annoyance or anger.
In Japanese it would probably mean "好きにしろ"
I hope the explanation is clear! ^^

Q:
В чем разница между wish и desire ?
A:
They are very similar and sometimes can be used interchangeably (as in, both words could be used and still be correct). However a wish is often used in a sort of magical sense. "The genie can grant you three wishes." "Wish upon a star." Desire is often used more often to describe a stronger, more emotional wish. It can often be related to lust, love, greed, like a bit more sinful. "I had a strong desire to see you tonight."
Q:
В чем разница между wish и desire ?
A:
They are basically the same in normal usage. The difference is subtle and would require a long answer. "Desire" is more an unsatisfied longing, while "wish" is a hoped for outcome. I think "desire" is more intense, while "wish" is transient. If my wish doesn't come true, oh well. But my desire will always be there.
"Desire" is a latin word and is deseo/desear in Spanish.
"Wish" is a germanic word and is wünschen in German.
I think the distinction in meaning may exist only in English since we have both words to play with.

Q:
В чем разница между wish и hope ?
A:
They can be used more-or-less interchangeably in a lot of contexts. They're slightly different in that a wish is something you're actively desiring will happen, and hope is something that may or may not happen, but you would prefer that it did. Hope can also be an emotion - a feeling that something will work out right.
"I wish she'd change her mind and come with us."
"I hope they have pizza in the lunch room today."
"Even though we don't have many members yet, I have hope for the future of this club."

"I hope they have pizza in the lunch room today."
"Even though we don't have many members yet, I have hope for the future of this club."
Q:
В чем разница между wish и hope ?
A:
They are very similar but with a little different nuance.
Wish - shows a desire for something, but it it also shows that it most likely won't happen.
Hope on the other hand only shows that one desires something, or wants something to happen.
Wish is more commonly used for yourself. "I wish I had 1 million yen!" "I wish I could go". When you use wish with another person and the word, it sounds like you are unhappy with them - examples "I wish you would stop doing that" "I wish they wouldn't say things like that"
Hope is more positive. It doesn't express that it might not happen. It is usually used with "can".
Examples: "I hope you can make it", "I hope I get a new game for Christmas"
Does that help?
