Please help to define the right form of the verb "beli" in the phrase. For example: I would like a pair of jeans. -
Saya mau beli celana jins. or Saya mau membeli celana jins.
Is the first variant absolutely grammaticaly incorrect? Or we can use such form in the spoken language?
Saya mau beli celana jins. or Saya mau membeli celana jins.
Is the first variant absolutely grammaticaly incorrect? Or we can use such form in the spoken language?

membeli
"membeli" is the correct one (grammatically) although, in the above example, I can see some people use "beli" verbally.
