Season 4, Episode 15, A Walk in the Park. Hello, amigos. Today, I'm walking in the park. Anna's just gone to New York, and I'm stuck here in Madrid, alone. It just feels so strange. We spent so much time planning our dream apartment together, and now she's just gone. I know she has to follow her dreams I would never ask her not to

but still it's it's hard I think I'm going to sit here on this bench for a while you know what I haven't really talked much about emotions in Spanish and given the recent events

I reckon now is as good a time as ever to go through some together To say happy in Spanish, you would say, Feliz, Feliz. Or, if you're in Spain, it would be Feliz, Feliz. You might possibly remember this from the famous Spanish song, Feliz Navidad, which means happy Christmas. Feliz Navidad. Alternatively, you could just say contento.

contento this one's nice and easy to remember because it's just like the word content which also means to be happy contento the word for sad is triste triste confused is confundido

confundido now here's something important In Spanish, adjectives usually agree with the person they describe. That means they can change depending on whether you're talking about a man or a woman. So, if you're female, instead of saying confundido, you would say instead, Confundida, confundita. And here's a tip to avoid confusion. Not all adjectives change.

Some, like Felis or Triste, stay the same whether you're male or female. But when an adjective ends in O, you can almost always switch it to A for the feminine form. Shall we move on? To say angry, you would say enfadado. Enfadado. Alternatively, You could say, enochado. Enohado.

Enfadado is more commonly used in Spain. Enohado is more commonly used outside of Spain throughout the rest of the Spanish-speaking world. Now, remember the heads up I gave you about swapping the ending of the adjective based on gender? If you're a woman, what would the words for angry be? They would be enohada or enfadada. We simply swap the O for an A.

So, as a man, to say scared, you would say, Asustado. Asustado. I hope you're repeating after me, by the way. The word excited is Emotionado Emotionado Remember that when you're excited

You're full of emotions Emotionado The word surprised is Surprendido Surpreendido Surprendido Nervous is

Nervioso Nervio To say tired, you would say, Canzado, canzado. Ord, is aborido, aborido. Aborido, aborido. And finally, to say calm, you would say, Tranquilo.

Doesn't Tranquilo remind you of the word tranquil. When somebody is tranquil, they are calm. I want you to repeat this. Tranquilo, amigo. Tranquilo, amigo.

Tranquilo, amigo, all bien. And so, yeah, there we have it. We've just about covered the spectrum of human feelings and emotions your need for everyday conversations in Spanish. Give yourself a pat on the back, please.

But we're not done yet. How do you say I am in Spanish? It's an important word to know when talking about emotions. I know you're probably thinking the word for I am is soy, which is correct. But for emotions we use estoi. I'm and the reason for that is because emotions

are temporary so if I wanted to say I'm sad I'd say I'm I'm a sad if I wanted to say

I'm a sad person I'd use soy but I don't want to say that we use We use Estoy for emotions because they can change. Think of it like this. Spanish has two verbs for to be. Ser and estar.

Soi comes from ser. And it's used for things that are more permanent. Like your name, where you're from, or your personality. Conversely, I'm to stay. And it's used for things that are temporary, like your location, your mood,

and yes, your feelings. So if I said to you, Soi Triste, that would mean I'm a sad person by nature. But if I say, I'm just describing a current emotional state, something that will change. Remember, emotions flow and they change, which is exactly why we use estar to describe them.

With that being established, how would you say I am happy? I'm happy. Alternatively, you could say, I'm content. How would you say, I am angry? And how about? Or I'm annoyed.

I'm confused. And how about I am confused? I'm confused. I'm confused. And of course, remember, if you're a woman, I'm confused. So, as a woman, how would you say, I am scared.

I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm sorry. You're doing really well here, guys. How would you say I am excited? I'm motionado. I'm emotionalado. Or

I'm emotionalada. I'm emotionalada. How would you say, I am surprised? I'm surprised. I am nervous is I'm nervous is, I'm nervous. I'm nervous.

And as a woman, I'm nervousa. Are you catching onto the pattern a little bit more now? I am tired is, I'm tired. I'm tired. I am bored. I'm bored.

I'm aborriado. And finally, how would you say, I am calm? Remember, tranquil. I'm tranquil. Here's a little trick I have. How do you think I would say, I'm not. not happy. It's really simple actually. You just add a no at the start. So I'd say, no, I'm so simple, isn't it? No, I'm sorry, feelise. Go on your turn. How would you say,

I'm not sad? No, I'm sorry, no, I'm sorry, no, I'm sorry, How would you say, I'm not angry? No, I'm fatado. Or, No, I'm nothado. Super simple, right? Just put no in front of I'm perfect.

You're getting the hang of this. You know what? I've had enough of feeling, Triste. I'm going to cheer myself up. There's a really good tapas place over there, and nothing cheers me up like a walk, a cana, and some patatas bravas. Spain has this, this beautiful energy, even when life feels hard. It reminds you to enjoy the moment. All right, Villajeros, I'll leave you here for

today. I'm off for a beer and some tapas. After la proxima. Here's something I learned teaching Spanish. People don't struggle with vocabulary. They struggle with confidence.
