The word ‘Jaksaa’ is a verb meaning something similar to ‘have energy’ as well as ‘want to’. It’s a versatile word that can be used in many contexts.
“Please take out the garbage”
“Ah, I don’t jaksaa!”
“Let’s hang out later today”
“No, I don’t think I jaksaa to”

I have to disagree a little. I would never use the word "jaksaa" as "want to" - to me, it solely means that I don't have the energy to do something. I don't wanna do something, I may say that "don't jaksaa to" but that means I'm lying, so to speak. Get it? :D
