I'm trying to study -tai form and got bit confused with this two godan verbs:
dictionary form -u +ITAKATTA
iku ikitakatta (?) i wanted to go
kau kaitakatta i wanted to buy
dictionary form -u +ITAKUNAKATTA
iku ikitakunakatta i didn't want to go
kau kaitakunakatta i didn't want to buy
Is that correct? and also i suppose i have to add -te in some cases. Is it just te-form +itai ? Like itteitai and kaiteitai ?
pardon mi english.

Correct I think.
itteitai (いく→いって + いる→いたい)would be something like "I want to go and be somewhere.." It can also mean 'Ouch, it hurts' ^^
ittemitai (いって + みたい)might make more sense: "I would like to go and experience..."
