Translation:

I know that you guys would mostly use “wile” only to mean these words, and it works okay most of the time. But if you wanted to make a clear difference between “want”, “need” and “should/must”, what would you say?

This is my idea:

Obviously, “want” stays as the nimi pu “wile”.
“Need” can change to nimisin “pison” (from the French word “besoin”). You can give me your own word ideas. This word would also mean “necessity/requirement/necessary/essential/fundamental”. [“pison” doesn’t mean “piss on” lol]
“Should/must” can change to nimisin “tupe” (from the French word “devrait”). You can give me your own word ideas. This word would also mean “obligation/duty”.
