I was intrigued by the meaning of **気もない** , and so far I could only find one
reference from **Romajidesu.com**.

It described **気もない** as: 1. **showing no signs of** ; **there being no hint
of** , 2. **unthinkable**.

I was just wondering if there are only that many meanings for **気もない** , or if
it could also be translated as: **don't** ( **won't** ) **even mind/care** ,
etc.

As far as I have learnt, **気** itself has quite many meanings, so I was
confused that **Romajidesu.com** only stated so few for it.

Thank you in advance for your kind guidance.

Similar to goo.ne and RD

It seems that there really aren’t many definitions for 気もない, and RomajiDesu
was mostly accurate.

answer
This question might have attracted the kind of answer you were looking for
earlier if only you had asked about either 気がある or 気がない.

When it’s used by itself (i.e. without being preceded by a verb), 気がある means
the subject is romantically interested in someone.

> 彼は彼女に気がある。  
>  He has a _thing_ for her.

気がない is the negative of that. 気もない would add the sense of “not even” to it,
but I cannot think of a realistic situation where this would sound natural.
