It may be something that will happen to the person who is having the feeling but it may also be to several persons, as might occur with a highly destructive earthquake, for instance.

The word or phrase would be used in the following sentence:

“I’m no spiritualist but I have a feeling of ___. I hope it’s just a feeling.»

EDIT — The phrase I’m looking for conveys a much stronger feeling than «I have a bad hunch». It is about something catastrophic which the person feels is «going to happen in a few minutes».

My first thoughts on reading the question were of the phrase ‘I have a feeling of impending doom.’ Since the word ‘catastrophic’ is used, this doesn’t feel unduly strong.

Edit by Centaurus — I’m adding some lines from the reference the answerer has given in his comment below:

Many people experience strong feelings and sensations associated with fear and anxiety. They are especially powerful when they occur for seemingly no reason. Consequently, many people react to these «out of the blue» feelings with fear, which only serves to inflame them. To better understand these strong impending doom feelings, the anxiety symptom “fear of impending doom” is often described as one or many of the following:

  • Feeling like something awful is about to occur
  • A sense that something very dangerous is about to happen
  • An overwhelming feeling you are about to die
  • A strong feeling that something terrible is about to happen and there isn’t anything you can do about it
  • A strong feeling of death and destruction that suddenly comes over you
  • An overwhelming fear of impending doom, destruction, despair, and gloom
  • A horrible feeling of doom and gloom that washes over you
  • Fear of impending doom that begins or accompanies a panic attack or anxiety attack
  • Such a strong feeling of impending doom that you feel you have to escape immediately or something terrible will happen

Is not the word you are searching ominous?

I’m no spiritualist but I have an ominous feeling, ….

Equally, as Patrick Wood points out a feeling of foreboding would do equally well, perhaps engendering even more concern in the listener.

I’m no spiritualist but I have a premonition. I hope it’s no more than that.

The alternative shown above may work. From en.wiktionary, premonition means

(1) A clairvoyant or clairaudient experience, such as a dream, which resonates with some event in the future.
(2) A strong intuition that something is about to happen (usually something negative, but not exclusively).

I have a feeling of impending danger or I have a presentiment of impending danger.

Presage:

  • a sign that something, often something unpleasant, will happen:

  • something that foreshadows or portends a future event , omen

    • The fact that no agreement has been reached by the Prime Ministers is a presage that a conflict may be imminent.

Feeling words, also known as emotion words or words of emotion, are words that describe the various emotions that a person can experience. Emotions are complex psychological and physiological responses to stimuli that can vary in intensity and duration. They can be positive (such as happiness or love) or negative (such as anger or sadness).

What Are Feeling Words?

Feelings are emotional states that can be positive or negative and that can vary in intensity. They are a natural and normal part of the human experience and can be influenced by a variety of factors, including life experiences, relationships, and environment.

Being able to identify and express our feelings can help us to communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships. It can also help us to manage and cope with difficult emotions in a healthy way.

There are also many different techniques that can be used to help manage and cope with feelings, such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and talking to someone about your feelings. It’s important to find what works best for you and to seek support if you are struggling to cope with your feelings.

    I’d normally say I feel sick.

    If that’s too strong, then switch sick with whatever it is you’re actually feeling: I feel…

    …nauseated.
    …light-headed.
    …cold.
    …queasy.

    I have never heard it said, «A person feels unwell.» It would sound very strange.

    John does not feel well today.
    John feels bad today.
    John is feeling bad today.

    John is not feeling well today.(This would be the most common)
    I am not feeling well today.
    I was not feeling well yesterday.

    Some people distinguish between feel bad (health) and feel badly (emotion, e.g. I feel badly about criticising him), but the evidence from surveys is that both are interchangeable, at least in AE.
    I would say that

    I felt bad

    or

    unwell

    if I was ill or out of sorts or poorly.

    ‘I’m feeling badly’ is very common in American English when referring to feeling physically bad/ unwell/sick. I can’t comment on how acceptable it is in AE, but it is wrong in standard British English and rarely heard, if ever except in regional or dialect BE.

    Some verbs to do with the senses are not used with typical adverbial forms ending with ‘y’, even when they exist. There’s sound( hearing), feel (touch), look (sight), smell (smell), and maybe one other I’ve forgotten.

    I don’t think I’ve heard «I’m feeling badly» in the context of health in the 35+ years of living in the US — so I can deny that it is «very common» and although it may be used, I couldn’t tell you by whom. «I’m feeling poorly» is far more common for such a situation. Both dwarfed by «I feel sick/unwell»:D Otherwise I agree with e2e4 that «feeling badly» is an emotional statement.

    Using ‘badly’ with ‘feel’ is American to my BE ears. If you want to speak BE don’t use it, because it sounds barbaric. If I am talking about emotions, sympathy and empathy, I still say ‘I feel bad for (somebody)’. I don’t differentiate, but younger BE speakers might.

    I’m interested in your experience Julian and of course I can’t dispute it. My comments are based on 15+ years of activity on an international on-line health support forum and 10 years living in NYC talking to all sorts of people, talking to people being one of my main hobbies. I confess to an obsession with Court TV and Judge Judy as one way of experiencing some sorts of US life that I would never otherwise be exposed to.
    I can’t say what particular sort of Americans say ‘I feel badly’ when I would say ‘I feel really bad/ unwell’. If I had to say, I’d guess it was the less educated. In that particular on line activity my language judgement faculties are suspended.

    «I’m feeling badly» is pretty rare here in the context of health, it is

    very common; even American Heritage says «It was never considered standard». «I feel bad for my mother» is used along with «I feel badly for my mother» in AE, but not so often in BE.

    Thank you both very much.
    So the summary is:
    AE
    physically: bad only
    emotionally: both bad and badly acceptable
    BE:
    physically&emotionally: bad only

    Feel bad is then safe in any situation.:)
    It is very interesting to discover which things sound just incorrect, and which sound gratingly awful to any native speaker’s ears. It is completely unpredictable.

    Are there many variations of your native Slovak? There are so many variations of English that it is possible to live one’s life never hearing many of the idioms and expressions used in «far-away» places — although the shrinking world is making that less true. Even within the UkK there are local idioms in one region that would not be easily understood in others. The interesting point here, however, is what it takes to create a cringe reaction:D That will vary from person to person as well as region to region:eek:

    I hear «feel badly» (from some AE speakers) as a form of hypercorrection.

    Thank you all!

    Are there many variations of your native Slovak?

    Yes but we’ve got a central authority which tells us what is grammatical.

    I have a slightly related question:
    How does one say they feel like a bad person?
    I mean something equivalent to I feel pretty.

    • #25

    I think that is how we would say it: I feel I am a bad person. (I feel evil?)

    siares


    • #26

    Ok thanks, that works for bad; I meant something non evil such as: I gave very little to charity then bought an expensive gadget; then I thought about it and felt I was a bad person.
    But even if I felt evil, there is no adverb for evil to confuse the issue, or is there?

    Context is your friend:D
    I gave very little to charity then bought an expensive gadget; so I felt bad about it.
    This is the same emotional bad as above — the context of «about it» provided the sense, just like «I felt bad for her» does. I ate too much and now I feel bad. (Self-explanatory:D)

    No, I gave context just to say I want to describe badness not evilness. Otherwise I meant what you said in your post 25, that I was the author of the badness.
    So like I feel pretty can mean roughly I consider myself pretty,
    by I felt I was bad I meant to express that I considered myself to be a bad person for having done something bad.

    I think evil wouldn’t fit there because it is too extreme.

    • #29

    That was why I suggested in #27: «I gave very little to charity then bought an expensive gadget; so I felt

    bad

    about it.» No-one would understand it as you felt unhealthy. Bad is the correct word (evil is a stronger version of it, and was accompanied by a ?)

    Yes I understand now thank you. The circle I got into was that people feel bad when they feel like they are bad persons.
    Thanks again all for all the interesting answers.

    If I feel badly for someone I sympathise with their plight. I agree that I wouldn’t use in reference to bad health, however, as the American seem to use it. ;)

    If I feel badly there is something wrong with my fingers.

    About ‘poorly’, meaning ‘unwell/sick/ill’. It is not an adverb related to the adjective ‘poor’ meaning ‘without money’.
    I associate ‘poorly’/unwell with the north of England, Northumbria on the east coast where I was brought up, or Lancashire on the west coast. I’ve been based in London for more than 50 years. I feel confident in saying that I’ve never heard a southerner use ‘feel poorly’.

    • #34

    In the (UK) film Brassed Off, the person who is directing the band (composed of mining employees) says «…for three dead miners and one poorly one»; «the poorly one (miner)» is the (absent) bandleader, who is suffering from «black lung». (But maybe this is only a «miner» distinction…) For the person who «gave very little etc.», maybe «I feel like a (cad, hypocrite, etc.)«?

    I’m a Londoner. My family (or at least a part of it) has been in London for centuries.:) Poorly (unwell) has always been a part of my vocabulary.

    Well, I moved around a lot when I was a lad but did not keep track back then:D Both Random House and Collins at WRF have this meaning (as an adjective).

    USAGE:

    (1.) Прилагательное bad 2. соответствует в русском языке и полному прилагательному больной и краткому — болен. В атрибутивном употреблении bad соответствует русскому больной и используется для описания длительного, хронического заболевания разных органов и частей тела: he has a bad heart у него больное сердце; his bad leg keeps him often awake его больная нога часто не дает ему уснуть. В предикативном употреблении bad соответствует русским болен, плох: he is very bad он очень болен/очень плох. (2.) Предикативное русское словосочетание «он болен/плохо себя чувствует» передается сочетанием глаголов to be и to feel с прилагательным bad 1. или предикативным прилагательным ill: he is (feels) ill/bad. В отличие от русского языка, в английском языке возвратное местоимение не употребляется: he feels bad он чувствует себя плохо. Русское сравнительное словосочетание «он чувствует себя хуже/ему хуже» передается сравнительной формой прилагательного bad: he is (feels) worse and worse ему все хуже и хуже. (3.) В сочетаниях с глаголами to look, to feel, to smell, to sound, to taste также употребляется прилагательное bad (как и другие прилагательные — sweet, sour; correct, wrong…), а не наречия, как в русских соответствиях: to look bad иметь плохой/больной вид/выглядеть плохо; to smell bad (pleasant) иметь неприятный (приятный) запах/плохо (приятно) пахнуть; to taste bad (sweet, sour) иметь неприятный (сладкий, кислый) привкус; to sound bad (correct, wrong) звучать плохо/неверно (верно, неправильно). (4.) Русские сочетания глагола с наречием «делать что-либо плохо» или с модальным глаголом «не уметь что-либо делать» соответствуют в английском языке сочетаниям глагола to be с прилагательным bad (3.) и отглагольным существительным: to be a bad dancer (swimmer) плохо/не уметь танцевать (плавать). Эта черта объдиняет bad с такими прилагательными, как good, fast, slow, poor: to be a fast walker (обычно) быстро ходить; to be a good eater хорошо есть; to be a fast (slow) reader быстро (медленно) читать; he has always been a fast sleeper он всегда крепко спал.

    to be a bad dancer (swimmer) — плохо/не уметь танцевать (плавать).

    Эта черта объединяет bad с такими прилагательными, как good, fast, slow, poor:

    to be a fast walker — (обычно) быстро ходить,

    to be a good eater — хорошо есть,

    to be a fast (slow) reader — быстро (медленно) читать.

    He has always been a fast sleeper — Он всегда крепко спал.

    (5). С названиями недомоганий, болезненных ощущений, боли типа сильная, тупая боль прилагательное bad имеет усилительное значение:

    a bad headache — сильная головная боль,

    a bad wound — серьезная рана,

    to catch a bad cold — сильно простудиться.
