how to say “I feel like doing…”

 

מִתְחַשֵּׁק לִי…
 

 


The Hebrew word for that basic feeling of desire or the urge to live and enjoy is חֵשֶׁק
  . 
 
אֵין לִי חֵשֶׁק לָצֵאת הַיּוֹם.
I don’t have the oomph to go out today.
 
 
To say I feel like… or I don’t feel like…, you’d use a reflexive-intensive verb form of that word: לְהִתְחַשֵּׁק  .
 
For example:
 
מִתְחַשֵּׁק לָךְ לָבֹא אִתִּי לַהוֹפָעָה?
Do you feel like coming with me to the show?
 
 
There’s also the common synonym expression, בָּא לִי   – literally, it comes to me.
 
For example:
 
בָּא לִי לִנְסוֹעַ לְאִיטַלְיָה.
I feel like going to Italy.
