Fancy and Willing
Hi my fellow!
I have a question and I hope you help me.
In this sentences below, Can we use either one or other? I mean, they're interchangeable, aren't they?

*Today, I'm not willing to go there.
*Today, I'm not fancy going there.

I'm trying to say something like that:
Today, I don't feel like going there.

Could anyone correct me and explain it, please?

Answer

Hi Berceles,

To give the meaning of: "I don't feel like going there.", you can only use the options:
1. I don't fancy going there. (note that 'fancy' is a verb, so make the negative with auxiliary 'do')
2. I'm not in the mood for going there.

If you use 'willing / not willing' the meaning is different. It signifies that you 'are prepared / not prepared' to go there, and that you don't really like the idea.

Answer

Thank you Jerry.
I really didn't know that. I've been learning British English, though.
Thanks!

Answer

Note: "fancy" in this usage is not AmE. Thought you might want to know that.
