N3 · 07 Appearance, hearsay & certainty
Says you have a vague feeling or hunch about something.
Plain form + 気がする. It is subjective and based on intuition, not on evidence. Often written 〜ような気がする to soften it. Negative: 気がしない (I don't feel like it). Do not confuse with 〜気になる (get interested).
Examples
今日はなんだかいいことがありそうな気がする。
I have a feeling something good will happen today.
この道、前にも通ったような気がします。
I feel like I have been on this road before.
