:eng: I feel like a chocolate bar.
:dan: Jeg har lyst til en chokoladebar.
:deu: Ich will mir eine Schokolade Bar haben. or maybe Ich fühle für eine Schokolade Bar.(?)

Was this supposed to be ambiguous? When I first read it I thought it meant he felt like he was a bar of chocolate. O_o I only figured it out after I read the gloss of Kankonian.

Using the expression "Feel Like" to mean "Want" is a pretty common practice in English, at least imd.

That is true. I just prefer "I feel like having a chocolate bar."

Oh that's right, the Inyauk don't have chocolate, which makes them nasty people.

I didn't intend this to be ambiguous. Meant it strictly in the idiomatic sense of "be in the mood for eating/drinking".

True fact: When I was about 12, I asked my little sister as we were driving home from an outing one day, "Do you feel like frozen yogurt?"

She said, "No, I feel like a little girl".

I was going to do that, but that day I wanted coffee! (Because I had already gone out and bought some lamb.)
