| Comment | I cannot find any help for the above expression, save for individual words; but 気さえする gets over 80,000 hits on Google and 気さえしました [see below] comes up with nearly 14,000 hits.
The text which I was reading was this: "手を広げたらそのまま何処かへ飛んで行ってしまいそうな気さえしました。" The context was about taking a photo on a severely windy day up in the mountains. My tentative meaning for the headword is less precise than the meaning I have read into the total expression. For a novice, it would help to include such a headword along with other similar entries already on the site. I have search around the site so I am hoping that you will not be saying it has been there for ever. |

| English 2 | (2) to have a certain mood or feeling |
| Comment | in your sentence, "気さえする" is just a more emphatic way of stating the above (esp. the 2nd sense, although i don't know that two senses are really different enough to warrant separation).
"[The wind was so strong that] it felt like I would fly away if I spread my arms." さえ version is not a necessary entry, IMO. Maybe a good example sentence, though. |

| English 2 | (2) to have a certain mood or feeling |
| Comment | btw, if these are kept separate, i think the mood/feeling sense should be first. (e.g. almost every example sentence in the tanaka corpus has this translated as 'i get the feeling that ...' or 'it feels ...')
