В воскресенье мне не хочется никуда спешить.

Here в воскресенье means on Sunday.

With days of the week, Russian often uses в + the form used for time expressions meaning on a certain day. With воскресенье, the form воскресенье looks the same in several cases, so the spelling does not change.

For a learner, the most useful thing is simply:

• в воскресенье = on Sunday
• compare:
  • в понедельник = on Monday
  • в среду = on Wednesday

So this is a standard way to say on Sunday.

Because the phrase хочется works with the dative case, not with a normal nominative subject.

So Russian says:

• мне хочется = I feel like..., literally something like to me, it feels wanted
• тебе хочется = you feel like...
• ему хочется = he feels like...

That is why you get мне, the dative form of я.

Not exactly.

• я не хочу = I do not want to
• мне не хочется = I do not feel like

So мне не хочется is often softer and more about mood, inclination, or lack of desire at the moment.

Compare:

• Я не хочу идти = I do not want to go
• Мне не хочется идти = I do not feel like going

In your sentence, мне не хочется никуда спешить sounds very natural for I don’t feel like hurrying anywhere.

Because хочется is part of an impersonal construction.

Russian often expresses feelings, states, and physical or emotional experiences impersonally:

• мне холодно = I am cold
• мне грустно = I am sad
• мне хочется спать = I feel like sleeping

So instead of saying I as the grammatical subject, Russian uses:

• a person in the dative: мне
• an impersonal predicate: не хочется

This is very common and very natural in Russian.

Yes, it is a double negative by English standards, but in Russian this is normal.

Russian uses negative concord, which means multiple negative words can appear together in the same sentence:

• Я никого не вижу = I do not see anybody
• Он ничего не сказал = He did not say anything
• Мне не хочется никуда spешить = I do not feel like hurrying anywhere

So не + никуда is exactly what Russian expects here.

Куда means where to.

So:

• куда = where to
• никуда = nowhere / anywhere in a negative sentence

In this sentence, никуда means anywhere in English translation, because English often uses any- words after negation:

• не хочется никуда спешить = do not feel like hurrying anywhere

Literally, Russian is closer to to nowhere.

This is a very common question.

• никуда means nowhere / anywhere under negation
• некуда means there is nowhere to...

So:

• Мне не хочется никуда спешить = I do not feel like hurrying anywhere
• Мне некуда спешить = I have nowhere to hurry to / There is nowhere for me to rush to

These are different ideas:

• никуда = I simply do not feel like going anywhere quickly
• некуда = there is no destination that requires rushing

In your sentence, the point is about lack of desire, not lack of destination, so никуда is correct.

Because after хочется, Russian normally uses an infinitive to say what someone feels like doing.

Pattern:

• мне хочется + infinitive
• мне не хочется + infinitive

Examples:

• Мне хочется спать = I feel like sleeping
• Мне не хочется работать = I do not feel like working
• Мне не хочется никуда спешить = I do not feel like hurrying anywhere

So спешить is simply the action that the speaker does not feel like doing.

Because спешить describes the action in a general, ongoing sense: to hurry, to be in a rush.

After verbs like хочется, the imperfective is often used when talking about an activity in general:

• хочется читать = feel like reading
• не хочется работать = do not feel like working
• не хочется спешить = do not feel like hurrying

A perfective such as поспешить would change the nuance and sound more like to hurry up once or to act quickly on one occasion. Here the speaker means a general Sunday mood of not wanting to rush, so спешить is the natural choice.

Yes, the word order could change, but the given order is the most neutral and natural.

• В воскресенье мне не хочется никуда спешить = neutral
• Мне не хочется в воскресенье никуда спешить = puts a bit more focus on on Sunday
• Никуда мне в воскресенье не хочется спешить = stronger emphasis on nowhere / anywhere

Russian word order is more flexible than English, but it is not random. The original sentence sounds smooth and standard.

It can depend on context.

• In context, в воскресенье can mean this Sunday / on Sunday
• It can also sound like on Sunday as a general statement about that day

If you want to clearly express a repeated habit, Russian often uses:

• по воскресеньям = on Sundays

So:

• В воскресенье мне не хочется никуда спешить can work as a general thought or as a statement about a particular Sunday
• По воскресеньям мне не хочется никуда спешить more clearly means On Sundays, I don’t feel like hurrying anywhere as a regular pattern
