About 気
When used after verbs, 気 often indicates either the will or desire to do that particular action. This use of 気 is often interpreted as 'to feel like doing (A)' in English. More literally, 気 may be translated as 'mind', as is similar to the way phrases like 'to have half a mind to (A)' in English, indicating that something is either positively or negatively drawing the speaker's attention toward doing (or avoiding) the action of (A).
- お風呂でゆっくりしていたら、勉強をする気がなくなった。I lost my motivation (spirit) to study, when I was relaxing in the bath.
- よーし、やる気が出てきたぞ!Alright! I am starting to get motivated!
- やばい、明日までに終わる気がしない。Shoot, I don't feel like I can finish this by tomorrow.
