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

I have a feeling something good will happen today.

I feel like I have been on this road before.
