Re:Started learning Japanese
You free to do anything you want cause if you paid you shouldn't ask may you or not. You can just say i need to go out. But there no word for that. nakerebanaranai/nakerebanarimasen (なければならない/なければなりません) means cannot dont do. Its like you ask 'i cannot dont do coming out?'. Its so much strange. Only want 欲しい (ほしい) sounds not totally abnormal i think.

Hi, I am a native Japanese speaker, studying English and Spanish.
I will answer your questions.

1. What's wrong ? (When you see someone sad, you ask "what's wrong"?

どうしたの? [doo shi ta no]

2. I had a long day. ( When you got so tired at work because of so many things to do.)

長い1日だった。 [Nagai ichi nichi datta] this is meaning that the day is long for me.

3.may I go out? ( example you are in a classroom and want to go out for a bit, what do you say to the Professor?

少し外しても良いですか? [sukoshi hazushi te mo iidesuka] , means that "Could you mind my leaving for a bit?"

4. What do you say to someone who leaves home for work or school?
いってらっしゃい。 [itte rasshai] this is similar to "take care"
