我要吃完饭:I am eating dinner,soon i will finish dinner. 我要吃饭了：I am going to eat dinner.

For example, when I say 我要吃完饭 does this mean, "I want to eat dinner" or, "I'm going to eat dinner" ? we generally speaking : 我得吃晚饭了。我要去吃晚饭了。我得去吃晚饭了。i have to go to eat....

Here 要 means“将要be going to"not means "想要want"

我要吃完饭:I am eating dinner,soon i will finish dinner.说的我要吃完饭，不是我要吃晚饭！！！我要吃饭了：I am going to eat dinner.0

want to means 是心里面想要　 going to means 打算做什么或将要 Do you understand,ok?
