С утра моросит, и мне не хочется выходить без капюшона.

С утра means since the morning / from early morning onward. It emphasizes that the drizzle started in the morning and has been going on.

By contrast, утром usually just means in the morning as a time reference.

So:

• С утра моросит = It’s been drizzling since morning
• Утром моросит = It drizzles in the morning / It is drizzling this morning depending on context

In this sentence, с утра suggests duration from an earlier point up to now.

Моросить means to drizzle or to rain very lightly.

So моросит is:

• 3rd person singular
• present tense
• impersonal in meaning here

Russian often uses weather verbs this way:

• Идёт дождь = It is raining
• Моросит = It is drizzling

There is no separate word for it in Russian here. The verb alone is enough.

Russian often omits a subject where English uses it as a dummy subject for weather, time, and similar expressions.

English says:

• It is raining
• It is getting dark
• It is freezing

Russian usually just says:

• Идёт дождь
• Темнеет
• Моросит
• Холодно

So in моросит, there is no word corresponding to English it. That is completely normal.

Both can be translated as I don’t want to, but they are not exactly the same.

• Я не хочу выходить = I don’t want to go out
• Мне не хочется выходить = I don’t feel like going out

The second version sounds softer and more about mood or inclination, not a firm decision.

Grammatically, хочется is an impersonal form related to хотеться. The person experiencing the feeling is put in the dative case:

• мне хочется = I feel like
• тебе хочется = you feel like
• ему хочется = he feels like

So мне не хочется literally works more like to me, it is not wanted / I don’t feel like it.

Because хочется is used impersonally, and the person who experiences the feeling is marked with the dative.

Compare:

• Я хочу = I want
• Мне хочется = I feel like / I want to, in the sense of feeling inclined

This pattern is very common in Russian with words describing states or feelings:

• мне холодно = I’m cold
• мне скучно = I’m bored
• мне нравится = I like
• мне не хочется = I don’t feel like

So the dative here is not random; it is part of the construction.

The correct form is хочется, from the verb хотеться.

This is a special impersonal verb meaning something like to feel like or to be in the mood for.

Common forms:

• мне хочется
• тебе хочется
• ему хочется
• нам хочется

Even though the person changes, the verb usually stays in the 3rd person singular neuter-style form хочется, because the construction is impersonal.

Хотится is not standard Russian.

Выходить is imperfective because after хочется / не хочется, Russian often uses the infinitive to describe the general action, without focusing on completion.

Here the meaning is:

• I don’t feel like going out

It refers to the action in general, not to one completed act as a result.

Compare:

• Мне не хочется выходить = I don’t feel like going out
• Мне не хочется выйти = I don’t feel like stepping out / going out once

The perfective выйти would make the action sound more like a single complete event. The imperfective выходить is more natural for a general reluctance.

Yes, but it would slightly change the nuance.

• Мне не хочется выходить = I don’t feel like going out
• Мне не хочется выйти = I don’t feel like going out once / stepping outside

The imperfective выходить sounds more general and process-oriented. The perfective выйти sounds more like one specific act of going outside.

In this sentence, выходить is the most natural choice because the speaker is talking about the general unpleasantness of going out in drizzly weather.

Because the preposition без always requires the genitive case.

So:

• капюшон = nominative
• без капюшона = without a hood

More examples:

• без пальто = without a coat
• без зонта = without an umbrella
• без шапки = without a hat

This is a fixed case pattern you simply need to learn with the preposition:

• без + genitive

Usually капюшон means a hood, especially one attached to clothing like a jacket, coat, or sweatshirt.

In this sentence, без капюшона most naturally means:

• without my hood up or
• without a hood / without wearing something with a hood

Depending on context, Russian does not always specify whether it is my hood, the hood, or a hood. The general idea is simply that going out without hood protection is unpleasant.

Russian often leaves out possessive words like my, your, or his when the meaning is obvious from context.

So English may say:

• without my hood but Russian can simply say:
• без капюшона

The listener naturally understands it means the speaker’s own hood or hooded clothing, unless context suggests otherwise.

This is very common in Russian:

• Я помыл руки = I washed my hands
• Он закрыл глаза = He closed his eyes
• Надень шапку = Put on your hat

Russian uses possessives only when they are needed for emphasis or clarity.

Yes, и basically means and, linking the two parts of the sentence:

• С утра моросит
• мне не хочется выходить без капюшона

So the full structure is:

• It has been drizzling since morning, and I don’t feel like going out without a hood.

In natural English, you might also translate it with a slightly more causal tone:

• It’s been drizzling since morning, so I don’t feel like going out without a hood.

But in Russian, и is simply the normal coordinating conjunction and.

It is mostly neutral conversational Russian.

Nothing in it is slangy or especially formal. It sounds natural in everyday speech.

A few style notes:

• С утра моросит is very natural in speech.
• Мне не хочется is also common and idiomatic.
• Без капюшона sounds normal if the context is clothing and weather.

So this is the kind of sentence a native speaker could easily say in ordinary conversation.

Yes. Even if the basic meaning is already known, there are several natural English versions:

• It’s been drizzling since morning, and I don’t feel like going out without a hood.
• It’s been drizzling all morning, and I don’t want to go outside without a hood.
• Since this morning it’s been drizzling, and I don’t feel like going out without my hood.

The most literal translation is not always the best stylistically. The important thing is understanding the Russian structure:

• с утра = since morning
• моросит = it’s drizzling
• мне не хочется = I don’t feel like
• выходить = to go out
• без капюшона = without a hood
