In the mood

To be “in the mood” means to feel desire for something or to do something. The Webtoon Maya’s World starts out with a girl who’s crying and alone outside her school. A boy comes by to cheer her up, but she’s not “in the mood” to talk. She does not want to talk to the boy, or she’s not “in the mood” to talk to the boy. If you want to get sushi for dinner, you might say that you’re “in the mood” for sushi. After dinner, you might feel “in the mood” to watch a movie.
