When someone can't help but feel the need for something and has to satisfy that desire, they have a craving. You usually have a craving in relation to some food, but also in relation to anything else. In any case, these types of impulses are not intended to satisfy a real need, but are usually a whim.
Cravings in pregnant women
It is quite common for pregnant women to have cravings. They unexpectedly crave a sweet, a meal, or a drink. It is very likely that these types of reactions are related to the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy . They can also be interpreted as a way to attract the attention of the couple, since pregnant women are in a situation of great emotion and sensitivity .
According to popular wisdom , when a pregnant woman cannot satisfy the desire for a craving, her body reacts with some type of signal or stain related to the object of desire and this phenomenon is also known as a craving. This belief has no scientific basis, but is nevertheless deeply rooted in popular tradition . In fact, there are people who consider that cravings have a supposedly scientific meaning (if the craving is for chocolate it is because the body needs magnesium and if the desire is for cookies this is due to a lack of calcium).
Craving people and phrases "I fancy" and "do something at will"
People who habitually have cravings are referred to as cravings. With this adjective it is implied that someone is capricious and even something fanciful and fickle.
There is also a very common expression with this term, specifically the phrase "it seems to me", which is equivalent to "it seems to me that". Thus, we can say that a person "seems complicated to me" or that a matter "seems quite difficult to me."
Another commonly used phrase is "to do something at will" and it is used to indicate that someone does something for their own interest and in a selfish way. Thus, if we say that a friend does things as he pleases, we are saying that he acts in an interested and ungenerous way.
The verb to crave
The verb to crave is generally used in the third person, since it is not said I crave or you crave. On the other hand, the verb crave can also express that something has a certain degree of probability (for example, "it seems unlikely that Madrid will win the league this season").
