고 싶다 in the mood for doing

ㄹ 기분이 아니다
not in the mood for
Add ㄹ to verbs just like you would for future tense~
공부할 기분이 아니에요

영화를 볼 기분이 아니에요

Can you use it with 이다?
Technically, but I was told they hardly ever use it. It’s more common to use 고 싶다
공부하는 기분이에요
A studying mood (in the mood to study)
-> correct and understandable, but hardly ever used
고 싶다
in the mood to do
For the previous example, instead of ㄴ 기분이다 you would say 공부하고 싶어요
-> When you say “I’m in the mood for” you really mean “I want to do” 고 싶다 can be used and translated as “I’m in the mood for / I feel like” even though it doesn’t literally say that:)

Just like 고 싶다 can mean “in the mood for” 싶지 않다 can mean “not in the mood for”

No…. I’m not in the mood for watching a movie
(아니요… 영화를 보고 싶지 않아요)
