You are right, Robert. 死 is used as an intensifier. So we say: 我想死你了。( means: I miss you very much.) It's right after the verb you want to be intensified. ' I want you to die' spoken Chinese is: 去死吧！（Go to die! Go to hell!) But formally we say: 我(想)要你去死。 BTW: In Chinese 想 is the action of ' thinking' 要 is want something or want to do something, intent to do something. So you also hear 我想你死了。Which means: I think you are dead, I consider you are dead.

“我想你死了，我想死了你，我想你去死了”,中文表达错啦！ 我想你去死了（你不可以这么说） （你可以这样说）想的你，我都要去死了。

我想你死了。I (used to) think you have died. There is no 我想你去死了。

So interesting!很搞笑！ I miss you very much.我想死你了。 I'm tied very much.我累死了。 I'm hungry very much.我饿死了。 想 verb +死 complement=miss sb. very much.

well,sometimes we use 死了as a adjective like so much ,eg,"I miss you so much"means the oral way is:我想死你了，it‘s also means"我非常的想念你"，it's like "love me ,love my dog"is equal to '爱屋及乌' so that "dog" doesn't really mean a dog.it's just used as an intensifier or a reference to express people's strong feeling.
