الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
'Wish for' is slightly formal and is often used for hopes or dreams unlikely to happen. Common in phrases like 'be careful what you wish for.' Not as strong as 'hope for,' and don't confuse with 'wish' as in 'I wish you luck.' For objects, use 'wish for a new car'; for situations, use 'wish for peace.'
