Jenoye says:
Why is the translation of the last sentence indicating the usage of zahochetsya is now translated as second person singular than third person singular as it suggests.
Learn Russian Daily says:
Hello Jenoye,
This is because of the way the reflexive verbs (захотеться is reflexive) are used in Russian language.
“Тебе захочется” literally means “it’s will be desirable to you”, not simply “you will want”. So the verb takes the 3d form to correspond with “it” (which is omitted in Russian).
