In a sentence

いちごstrawberryたべたい食べたいwant to eat

I want strawberries

How it works

(subject) marks いちご (strawberry) as the thing wanted. Add 〜たい (want to) to a verb stem to say you want to do something: 食べるたべる (eat) becomes 食べたいたべたい (want to eat). With the 〜たい (want to) form, what you want is often marked by (subject) rather than the object particle.
