What does the word 「気がせんのや」mean?


Here is the sentence including the word.

わしはあの東光少年院にはいったが さいご とうてい 生きて 出られるような **気がせんのや** 。

It is said by Kansai spoken guy.

I have tried to look on some Japanese dictionary web sites and found that the
word that is close to the meaning in my opinion is 気がせく but I think it cannot
be conjugated to the form in the sentence above. The word would be 「気がせない」but
I am uncertain about it.




気がせんのや means 気がしないのだ. や would be a Kansai form of だ, and せん is an alternative
form of しない. As for why it's not しん, it's derived from せぬ, which in turn is
derived from せず.
