simple translation HELP!!

[urbanegloss2037]

what does this mean?


"なんだか元気がないようですが、大丈夫でしょうか？
うまく気分転換してくださいね "




I'm guessing that the person meant this:


"the appearance is somewhat not fine. probably ok....

isn't it the feeling being good in converting??"


I don't know so pls. I need your help. I only know basic Japanese.

@QuackingShoe:


THANK YOU!

I just want to ask why the person used "ga" instead of saying " ja nai" ??????

じゃない is used for full-on negation.

りんごじゃない = It isn't an apple.
りんごがない = There is no apple (an apple doesn't exist).

Think of 元気 as an attribute that you don't have.
