📝 Conjugation Notes
The preceding verb or adjective must always be in the plain (casual) form. The ‘suru’ part can be conjugated into past tense (気がした) or negative (気がしない) to reflect the tense of the feeling itself.
🔊 Pronunciation Tips
The ‘ような’ part should be pronounced smoothly and quickly. The emphasis typically falls on the content word before ‘ような’ and the final ‘する’ (or conjugated form).
🧠 Memory Tips
Break it down: よう (similar/like) + な (connecting particle) + 気 (feeling/spirit) + が + する (to do). Literally: “To do a feeling that is like [X].”
