๐ Explanation
The grammar ใใใคใใใงใใ is used to express a person's intention, will, or plan to do something in the future.
To form this sentence, use the dictionary form of a verb followed by ใคใใ and ใงใ.
It indicates a relatively firm intention that the speaker has already decided upon. For negative intentions (intending NOT to do something), you can use the nai-form of the verb.
Iku tsumori desu.
= 'I intend to go.'
Tabenai tsumori desu.
= 'I intend not to eat.'
