うれしい delightful
たのしい joyful
くやしい frustrated
こわい afraid
なさけない miserable
しんどい hard feelings
しあわせ happy
ここちよい comfortable
めんどくさい bothered
たいへんだ oh, no!
どうしよう oh my god
おどろく suprised
あんしんする relief
うらやましい enviable
ざいあくかん guilty feeling

なやむ worry
きんちょう nervous
まよう dither
3. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?
きょうしゅく
おかげさま
おそれいる
うちひしがれる（？）
I think there are more feelings in Japanese like above and vice versa.
In that case, we might have different mentalities.
I also cannot be translates into English "おかげさま". I think japanese is too madest, so there are many words like it.
返信削除Hello!!
返信削除I want to learn the answer of question 3.
Because the Japanese is grateful, I think that there only haves to be something that equals such a word.
Hi,SWEET CANDY.
返信削除「うちひしがれる」
↑yes, This is very Japanese, isn't it?
Meybe we only have this word.
Actually, I don't know and don't use this word very well.
So, I canoot express in English.
I think 恐縮、おかげ様、恐れ入る are expressed that the japanese feeling considered of other people. these words must be only japanese words!
