how do you say " I don't feel like" but with the verb " fancy"? Some time ago, I saw in some place the verb "fancy" to say like "I don't feel like or I'm not in the mood" but I want to know how it would be with this concrete verb. Any help? Thanks!

Fancy is mostly used in British English.

Here are some examples:

UK: Do you fancy a coffee?

UK: I fancy a walk this afternoon.

UK: I'm sure he fancies you!

Hi Patricia

You've got a good example already which follows the theme of "fancy" in this context, instead of I don't feel like you can say I don't fancy

As a general rule (informal), anywhere you can say Would you like ... ? or I/You/He/She do(es)/n't like/want could be replaced with fancy

1) Do you fancy a drink?

2) I don't fancy going out

3) She didn't fancy a piece of that cake

Examples: "Do you fancy a drink?" "Do you fancy going to a restaurant tonight?" This is not commonly used in the USA. It's most often used in a playful sense than as an every day word. Fancy can also be a noun meaning a desire or a like Example: "Does this suit your fancy?"

Everyone is giving you great advice. I would like to emphasize that this usage is more appropriate for British than American English. We (America) understand it but I don't think I've ever heard it outside of a) movies b) my friends being fools and saying, "fancy a cup of tea?"
