Hey everybody, how are you feeling today?
Are you happy?
Are you sad?
Are you angry or are you scared?
Well guys, as you can see, I have all of these emotions for you on the board today
and today I'm going to teach you 20 different ways to express
yourself in English to talk about your emotions.
After all, emotions are something that we all go through and we must have
a strong vocabulary for that.
So come on, let's get started with our lesson for the day.
My name is Michelle and you're watching, Let's talk the place to improve your
vocabulary.
Come on.
So let's start with our first emotion for the day and that is happiness.
So how can you express being happy?
Well, the first word that I have for you is glad that you're feeling
glad about something.
So when can you use this word?
Well, imagine that your friend is coming over to your place you'd say I'm
glad that you're coming over to meet me.
That's how you will use this word.
It means you're very happy.
Now another level of being happy is being is called delighted.
Okay, imagine that you have to go to your friend's party and you're very excited about it.
You'll tell her, hey, I'm delighted to come to your party today.
So that's delighted first.
No.
Mhm.
Great.
Now let's look at the third way to express your happiness.
We have already looked at glad we've looked at delighted.
Now, the other word that I have for you is cheerful?
Well cheerful is not just a feeling, it's also a word that you
can use to describe someone's personality.
So if there is a person who is always happy, wow, I love this kind of people.
First of all, we would say that he or she has a cheerful
personality that's cheerful for you.
Now, apart from cheerful, there are two more words that you can use to express
your happiness and for that one we have thrilled.
So imagine that somebody got your favorite flowers for you on your
birthday, what would you say you'd say?
I'm thrilled to receive these flowers, What a lovely present.
So that's thrilled,
lovely.
And with that we've reached our last word to talk about happiness and this word
is called as ecstatic.
Well, this word actually comes from the English word ecstasy, which is a noun
and ecstatic is an adjective which you use to talk about how you're
feeling.
So guys, ecstasy is a state of consistent happiness where you're so happy that
there is no sadness at all, you're completely happy.
Okay, so when you're so happy, you would say that you're feeling
ecstatic.
And I think the best place to use this word is when you want to talk about the birth of a
child, you'd say that the couple was ecstatic at the birth of their first
child.
Now, as you notice that I use the preposition at with it.
So the same way when you want to use the word ecstatic, you would say that you're ecstatic about
something or ecstatic at something that's
ecstatic for you.
So the couple was ecstatic at the birth of their first child and now we have all of these five
words to talk about happiness.
Now let's move on to our next emotion.
And as you can see that is sadness.
So how do you express being sad?
Well, if you are really sick and you're very sad because you're sick, then you're
feeling miserable.
Yes, that's the first word, feeling miserable.
Okay.
Right.
So if you know someone who is sick and you want to ask them, then you could say that hey,
are you sick?
You look miserable.
So either you can say that you feel miserable or you look miserable, which have to do
more with sickness.
Now let's look at the second word that you can use to talk about feeling really
sad and that is upset.
So if something really bad has happened with you, you'd say that I'm feeling really upset
because my dog died last evening.
Okay, so that's how you use the word upset, which means you're very unhappy and
very sad about it.
Now, the third word that I have for you is samba.
So when somebody dies, the overall atmosphere becomes really
samba.
So you could say ever since my dog has passed away, the atmosphere at my home is
really samba.
So that's somber for you and now let's look at the next word that we have to talk about
sadness.
Well, we've already looked at miserable, upset and samba.
The next word is gloomy.
So gloomy is usually used to talk about weather.
So when there's this really sad weather and the sky is really clouded, you begin to
feel gloomy.
But at the same time, if something really bad has happened with you and you're unhappy, then you could
say that you're feeling gloomy about something.
So for instance, if you lost your job, you could say that I've been gloomy ever since
I've lost my job.
I don't know how to regain my happiness.
Okay, now, let's look at the fourth way, which is an extreme way to talk about
being sad and that is depressed.
Yes.
Now again, this word depressed comes from an English noun which is
depression.
Now guys, depression is a medical condition where you feel really disturbed because of
losing somebody or having a really bad experienced.
That's not the kind of feeling that I'm mainly talking about here today.
So what I'm talking about is the overall feeling of sadness which lasts only for a
while.
So for that you could say that I'm really depressed because I've lost my
job right?
Which means you're extremely sad or else you could say I'm a bit depressed because of
my work situation here.
Right?
So that's how you talk about feeling depressed temporarily and not about
the medical condition.
Depression.
Okay, now moving on, let's look at our next feeling and that is
mm being scared.
Okay, what are you scared of?
Well, if I have to answer this question I'd say I'm really afraid of
spiders.
So over here instead of using the word scared.
I used the word afraid and that's my first synonym to talk about
being scared.
Now.
Apart from this word, you could say that you're frightened of something which means you're very
scared of something that's frightened.
So, if you look carefully at the spelling, because in this world we have G H in the
middle, which is not really pronounced.
So when you write it, remember to add GH So that's frightened.
Now you can be afraid of something.
You can be frightened of something.
You could also feel something terrible when you're terrified of
something so terrified means being extremely scared of something.
So, well, if I have to answer this question, I'm really terrified of heights.
Mhm.
And if you're scared of something particular, you could say that you're terrified of it.
Now, did you notice I used the proposition of So usually when you say you use the word
terrified, you need to mention what are you terrified of?
What is that thing?
Which gets you really scared?
So that's how you say, you're terrified of something great.
Now let's move on and look at the next word that we have for being scared and that is
creeped out.
No.
So if something scares you a lot, you could say that it creeps you out.
So for me, you know clowns, I'm really scared of them and they actually
creeped me out, which means that when I see them, I almost feel like I saw a
ghost.
So I I'd say that I don't like clowns because they creep me out.
But it's important when you say creep out, you add me in the middle of that to talk
about what creeps you out or else you could just say that clowns creep
me out.
Okay now the final one that we have is spooked out.
Yeah.
So if there's a loud noise in the room, I'm sure you will be spooked out,
especially if it's in the middle of the night when there is uh no lights
absolutely dark.
And you recently washed a horror movie, I'm sure you'll be spooked out or
else I remember this other time when in the middle of the night there was this loud noise and my
cat spooked out like oh she was so scared about who was there?
Or somebody had just entered the room.
So that spooked out for you.
And with that we have already looked at five words to talk about being scared.
Now we're moving to the last section of our lesson wishes to talk about
anger.
So the first word that you can use to talk about anger is mad.
Okay,
okay, so when you're angry at somebody, you could say that I'm really mad at you
for not getting to the restaurant in time.
Now again with mad.
I have used the preposition at and similarly you also need to mention what are you angry about
by using mad at something so mad at you or
mad at her or mad about something.
Okay, now the other word that you can use to express your anger is
furious.
But
so if you have lost some important documents, you could say I'm really furious because
I can't find my college degree.
Well obviously if you can't find it, you'll be really angry and you'd want to find it as soon as
possible because that's a very important document.
Now with that we have another word which is enraged.
So guys if you are enraged, that could be because you're extremely angry about
something.
And again, in a similar situation, you could say that I'm enraged
because I lost my I couldn't catch my flight
and it only left when I arrived the airport.
So you could say that I'm enraged because I couldn't catch my flight.
Now with that we move to the next word which is heated.
Yeah,
so he did.
It's generally used when you're very angry because of what someone said to you.
It's also used as an adjective to talk about an argument.
So you could say that I had a heated argument with her which means a very
angry, very emotionally charged argument.
You could also say that after she spoke to me like that, I'm really heated.
Don't talk to me which means I'm really angry and with that we have the last and the
most extreme way of talking about anger and that is piste off.
So guys piste off means you're extremely angry about something.
You're so angry that you could do something really bad at that time.
And again, this is a slang expression.
It's a really rude expressions.
You want to be careful of using it.
But yes, when you use it, you're surely telling that you're angry to the fullest
as much as it can get.
So you could say that I had to stand in the line where I had to stand in the queue for two
hours only to fill a form.
I'm absolutely piste off.
Okay, so that's how you use the word piste off.
And with that, as you can see, we've come to the end of our lesson where today you've learned
20 new words to express yourself in English.
And I hope that next time when you need to talk about any of these emotions, you will not
struggle for words.
So make sure you keep a list of these words handy so that you can use them whenever you
need it.
And yes, my tip for you at the end of the lesson will be be sure to recap and
revise whatever new words you learn at least every three days.
You must revise it once so that you can remember it forever.
