The verb хотљться has only two forms: non-past хћчется and past хотљлось. Verbs that have only these two forms (i.e., that lack personal forms) are called impersonal verbs. Like most impersonal verbs, хотљться takes a Dative case for the person involved (Мнљ/Емџ/Љй хћчется 'I/He/She feel(s) like').
