English uses &#8220;to be&#8221; for almost everything; Italian splits the job across three verbs, and choosing the wrong one is the classic A2 mistake. This guide gives the adjectives, the nouns, the reflexive feeling verbs, and exactly which frame each one needs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talking about italian emotions is one of the first things you actually want to do in a new language, and one of the first places English habits trip you up. Get the three frames straight and you can say how you feel in any situation. There is a payoff beyond conversation, too: feelings are where Italian quietly differs from English in how it carves up meaning, one English &#8220;I love you&#8221; becomes two unrelated Italian sentences, one English &#8220;excited&#8221; splits into a safe word and a risky one. Learning italian emotions properly is therefore also a small lesson in how the language thinks, not just a vocabulary list to memorise, and that is exactly why this guide is built around the three frames first and the words second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-em\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-toc-h-em gb-headline-text\" style=\"text-align:center;font-size:24px\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to section<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#three-frames\">The three frames of feeling<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#essere\">Essere + adjective: sono felice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sentirsi\">Sentirsi: mi sento bene<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#avere\">Avere + noun: ho paura<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#adjectives\">The emotion adjectives<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#nouns\">The emotion nouns<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#verbs\">Reflexive feeling verbs: arrabbiarsi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#love\">Love and affection: ti voglio bene<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#body\">Emotions you feel in the body<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#intensity\">How strong: un po&#8217;, molto, da morire<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#asking\">Asking how someone feels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mistakes\">Common mistakes English speakers make<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialog\">Dialog: tutoring before an exam in Modena<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat sheet: which frame?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#challenge\">Mini-challenge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related\">Related guides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#quiz\">Quiz<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"three-frames\">The three frames of feeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English says &#8220;I am&#8221; for almost every feeling: I am happy, I am afraid, I am hungry. Italian emotions split across three verbs, and the frame depends on whether the feeling is an adjective or a noun.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>essere<\/em> + adjective: <em>Sono felice.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m happy. (a state described by an adjective)<\/li>\n<li><em>sentirsi<\/em> + adjective\/adverb: <em>Mi sento bene.<\/em><br>I feel well. (how you feel right now)<\/li>\n<li><em>avere<\/em> + bare noun: <em>Ho paura.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m afraid. (literally &#8220;I have fear&#8221;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-focus-em-1\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Adjective or noun?<\/strong> <em>For italian emotions, ask: is the feeling an adjective (felice, triste) or a noun (paura, fame)? Adjective \u2192 essere or sentirsi. Noun \u2192 avere. That one question picks the verb.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"essere\">Essere + adjective: sono felice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The default frame for italian emotions is <em>essere<\/em> plus an adjective. The adjective agrees with the person, exactly like any other adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Sono felice.<\/em> \/ <em>Sono felici.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m happy. \/ They&#8217;re happy.<\/li>\n<li><em>Caterina \u00e8 stanca; Lorenzo \u00e8 stanco.<\/em><br>Caterina is tired; Lorenzo is tired. (agreement: -a \/ -o)<\/li>\n<li><em>Siamo molto contenti del risultato.<\/em><br>We&#8217;re very happy with the result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So <em>essere<\/em> describes a state with italian emotions adjectives: <em>felice, contento, triste, arrabbiato, stanco, nervoso<\/em>. Because they are adjectives, they change ending for gender and number: <em>stanca, stanchi, stanche<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sentirsi\">Sentirsi: mi sento bene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sentirsi<\/em> (&#8220;to feel&#8221;) is the second frame for italian emotions. It is reflexive and points at how you feel in this moment, often a bit more personal than <em>essere<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Mi sento bene \/ male \/ cos\u00ec cos\u00ec.<\/em><br>I feel good \/ bad \/ so-so. (with an adverb)<\/li>\n<li><em>Ti senti stanco? Mi sento un po&#8217; gi\u00f9.<\/em><br>Do you feel tired? I feel a bit down.<\/li>\n<li><em>Dopo la passeggiata mi sono sentita meglio.<\/em><br>After the walk I felt better. (sentirsi takes essere in the past)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use <em>sentirsi<\/em> for italian emotions when you mean &#8220;how I feel right now&#8221;: <em>mi sento solo<\/em>, <em>mi sento tranquillo<\/em>, <em>mi sento gi\u00f9<\/em>. It is reflexive (<em>mi, ti, si, ci, vi, si<\/em>) and takes <em>essere<\/em> in compound tenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"avere\">Avere + noun: ho paura<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third frame is the one English speakers always miss. Several italian emotions and bodily states are nouns, and Italian says you <em>have<\/em> them, with no article.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Ho paura.<\/em> \/ <em>Ho paura dei ragni.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m afraid. \/ I&#8217;m afraid of spiders.<\/li>\n<li><em>Ho fame, ho sete, ho sonno.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m hungry, I&#8217;m thirsty, I&#8217;m sleepy.<\/li>\n<li><em>Ho freddo, ho caldo, ho voglia di un caff\u00e8.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m cold, I&#8217;m hot, I feel like a coffee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-focus-em-2\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Have, not be.<\/strong> <em>With these italian emotions and states the verb is avere and there is no article: ho paura, not sono paura and not ho la paura. The same with fame, sete, sonno, freddo, caldo, voglia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adjectives\">The emotion adjectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core italian emotions adjectives, the ones you use with <em>essere<\/em> and <em>sentirsi<\/em>. They all agree in gender and number.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>felice, contento<\/em> = happy \u00b7 <em>triste<\/em> = sad \u00b7 <em>arrabbiato<\/em> = angry<\/li>\n<li><em>stanco<\/em> = tired \u00b7 <em>annoiato<\/em> = bored \u00b7 <em>preoccupato<\/em> = worried<\/li>\n<li><em>spaventato<\/em> = scared \u00b7 <em>sorpreso<\/em> = surprised \u00b7 <em>deluso<\/em> = disappointed<\/li>\n<li><em>nervoso<\/em> = nervous\/edgy \u00b7 <em>emozionato<\/em> = excited\/moved \u00b7 <em>tranquillo<\/em> = calm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch <em>felice<\/em>: it ends in <em>-e<\/em>, so it has only two forms (<em>felice \/ felici<\/em>), while <em>-o<\/em> ones like <em>contento<\/em> have four (<em>contento\/a\/i\/e<\/em>). Most italian emotions adjectives are the four-form type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nouns\">The emotion nouns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same italian emotions also exist as nouns, used after <em>avere<\/em>, <em>provare<\/em> (&#8220;to feel\/experience&#8221;) or <em>che<\/em> exclamations.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>la gioia<\/em> = joy \u00b7 <em>la felicit\u00e0<\/em> = happiness \u00b7 <em>la tristezza<\/em> = sadness<\/li>\n<li><em>la rabbia<\/em> = anger \u00b7 <em>la paura<\/em> = fear \u00b7 <em>la noia<\/em> = boredom<\/li>\n<li><em>l&#8217;ansia<\/em> = anxiety \u00b7 <em>la sorpresa<\/em> = surprise \u00b7 <em>la vergogna<\/em> = shame\/embarrassment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will meet these italian emotions nouns in <em>provo una grande gioia<\/em> (&#8220;I feel great joy&#8221;), <em>che paura!<\/em> (&#8220;how scary!&#8221;), <em>che noia!<\/em> (&#8220;how boring!&#8221;). With <em>avere<\/em> they usually drop the article (<em>ho paura<\/em>); with <em>provare<\/em> they keep it (<em>provo paura<\/em> or <em>provo una certa ansia<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verbs\">Reflexive feeling verbs: arrabbiarsi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many italian emotions are also verbs, and they are reflexive: they describe the change into a feeling (to get angry, to get bored), not just the state.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>arrabbiarsi<\/em> = to get angry \u00b7 <em>annoiarsi<\/em> = to get bored \u00b7 <em>preoccuparsi<\/em> = to worry<\/li>\n<li><em>emozionarsi<\/em> = to get excited\/moved \u00b7 <em>commuoversi<\/em> = to be moved to tears \u00b7 <em>spaventarsi<\/em> = to get frightened<\/li>\n<li><em>divertirsi<\/em> = to have fun \u00b7 <em>rilassarsi<\/em> = to relax \u00b7 <em>vergognarsi<\/em> = to be embarrassed<\/li>\n<li><em>Lorenzo si arrabbia facilmente ma poi si calma.<\/em><br>Lorenzo gets angry easily but then calms down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So italian emotions can be a state (<em>sono arrabbiato<\/em>, I&#8217;m angry) or a change (<em>mi arrabbio<\/em>, I get angry; <em>mi sono arrabbiato<\/em>, I got angry). The reflexive verb is the &#8220;becoming&#8221;; the adjective is the &#8220;being&#8221;. A useful detail: these reflexive verbs take <em>essere<\/em> in the past and the participle agrees, exactly like the emotion adjectives, so <em>Caterina si \u00e8 arrabbiata<\/em>, <em>i bambini si sono annoiati<\/em>, <em>ci siamo divertiti<\/em>. Many of them also pair with <em>per<\/em> or <em>di<\/em> for the cause: <em>mi arrabbio per niente<\/em>, <em>mi preoccupo per te<\/em>, <em>mi vergogno di averlo detto<\/em>. There is a whole guide on the negative-feeling verbs, linked at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"love\">Love and affection: ti voglio bene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One area of italian emotions deserves its own section because English collapses it into a single word. &#8220;I love you&#8221; is two completely different things in Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Ti amo.<\/em><br>I love you. (romantic love, a partner)<\/li>\n<li><em>Ti voglio bene.<\/em><br>I love you \/ I care about you. (family, friends, deep affection, no romance)<\/li>\n<li><em>Mi manchi.<\/em><br>I miss you. (literally &#8220;you are missing to me&#8221;, like piacere)<\/li>\n<li><em>Mi sei simpatico.<\/em><br>I like you \/ I find you likeable. (not romantic)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mixing these up is a real social error, not just a grammar one: saying <em>ti amo<\/em> to a friend is awkward, while <em>ti voglio bene<\/em> to a partner can sound like you are stepping back. And <em>mi manchi<\/em> works backwards like <em>piacere<\/em>, the person missed is the subject. These are among the most useful italian emotions to get exactly right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"body\">Emotions you feel in the body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian, like English, stores many italian emotions in the body. These fixed expressions are vivid and very common, worth recognising even at A2.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>avere un nodo in gola<\/em><br>to have a lump in your throat (emotion, about to cry)<\/li>\n<li><em>avere la pelle d&#8217;oca<\/em><br>to have goosebumps (fear or strong feeling)<\/li>\n<li><em>essere al settimo cielo<\/em><br>to be on cloud nine (extremely happy)<\/li>\n<li><em>essere gi\u00f9 di corda \/ gi\u00f9 di morale<\/em><br>to be down in the dumps<\/li>\n<li><em>farsi il sangue amaro<\/em><br>to make oneself bitter, to fret and stew over something<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These bodily italian emotions are fixed: you keep the exact words (<em>al settimo cielo<\/em>, not &#8220;al sesto&#8221;). They are the natural next step once the three frames are solid, and natives use them constantly to colour how they feel. Recognise them first, then add one or two to your own speech when the moment fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intensity\">How strong: un po&#8217;, molto, da morire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italian emotions need a volume knob. The usual scale, from soft to very strong:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>un po&#8217;<\/em> (a little) &rarr; <em>abbastanza<\/em> (quite) &rarr; <em>molto<\/em> (very) &rarr; <em>troppo<\/em> (too)<\/li>\n<li>Colloquial top end: <em>tristissimo<\/em> (very sad), <em>stanco morto<\/em> (dead tired), <em>contento da morire<\/em> (over the moon)<\/li>\n<li><em>Sono un po&#8217; nervoso ma non troppo preoccupato.<\/em><br>I&#8217;m a bit nervous but not too worried.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Un po&#8217;<\/em> needs the apostrophe (short for <em>un poco<\/em>), and the <em>-issimo<\/em> ending (<em>felicissimo<\/em>) is the everyday way to max out italian emotions without the word <em>molto<\/em>. Two more native moves: put <em>per niente<\/em> after a negative to mean &#8220;not at all&#8221; (<em>non sono per niente stanco<\/em>), and use <em>sempre pi\u00f9<\/em> for a rising feeling (<em>sono sempre pi\u00f9 nervoso<\/em>, &#8220;I&#8217;m more and more nervous&#8221;). The intensity word usually sits right before the adjective (<em>molto contento<\/em>, <em>abbastanza tranquillo<\/em>), but the colloquial tags like <em>da morire<\/em> go after it (<em>contento da morire<\/em>). Small placement, but it is what makes the italian emotions sound spoken rather than translated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"asking\">Asking how someone feels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also need to ask about other people&#8217;s italian emotions, not just state your own.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Come stai? \/ Come sta?<\/em><br>How are you? (informal \/ formal)<\/li>\n<li><em>Come ti senti oggi?<\/em><br>How do you feel today?<\/li>\n<li><em>Che hai? \/ Cos&#8217;hai?<\/em><br>What&#8217;s wrong? (when someone looks off)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Come stai?<\/em> uses <em>stare<\/em>, the same verb as <em>sto bene<\/em>. <em>Che hai?<\/em> literally &#8220;what do you have?&#8221; is the warm, everyday way to ask about someone&#8217;s italian emotions when they seem upset. A few more natural follow-ups: <em>tutto bene?<\/em> (&#8220;everything ok?&#8221;), <em>cos&#8217;\u00e8 successo?<\/em> (&#8220;what happened?&#8221;), and the gentle <em>ti va di parlarne?<\/em> (&#8220;do you feel like talking about it?&#8221;). Notice the answers reuse the three frames you already know: <em>s\u00ec, tutto bene<\/em>; <em>no, sono un po&#8217; gi\u00f9<\/em>; <em>ho solo sonno<\/em>. Asking about italian emotions and answering about them are the same toolkit seen from two sides, which is why drilling the three frames pays off twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mistakes\">Common mistakes English speakers make<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using <em>essere<\/em> for noun states: not <em>sono fame<\/em> but <em>ho fame<\/em>; not <em>sono paura<\/em> but <em>ho paura<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Adding an article after <em>avere<\/em>: not <em>ho la paura<\/em> but <em>ho paura<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Forgetting agreement: a woman says <em>sono stanca, sono contenta<\/em>, not <em>stanco\/contento<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Using <em>sentire<\/em> for &#8220;to feel an emotion&#8221;: it is <em>mi sento triste<\/em> (reflexive), not <em>sento triste<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Translating &#8220;I&#8217;m excited&#8221; as <em>sono eccitato<\/em>: that has a sexual sense; for emotions say <em>sono emozionato<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dialog\">Dialog: tutoring before an exam in Modena<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caterina has a private lesson with Lorenzo, her tutor in Modena, the day before an exam.

The answers below draw on classroom usage and on the Treccani feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/magazine\/lingua_italiana\/speciali\/Sentimenti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le parole dei sentimenti<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-em-q1\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do you say how you feel in Italian?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Three frames, depending on the word. Essere plus an adjective for a state: sono felice, sono stanco. Sentirsi plus an adjective or adverb for how you feel right now: mi sento bene, mi sento gi\u00f9. Avere plus a bare noun for fear, hunger, sleep and similar: ho paura, ho fame, ho sonno. English uses to be for all of these; Italian splits them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q2\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why is it ho paura and not sono paura?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Because paura is a noun, not an adjective, so Italian says you have it: ho paura, literally I have fear. The same with fame, sete, sonno, freddo, caldo, voglia. There is no article: ho paura, not ho la paura. Sono paura is always wrong.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q3\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between essere and sentirsi for emotions?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Essere plus adjective states a condition: sono triste. Sentirsi plus adjective or adverb is more about how you feel in the moment and is reflexive: mi sento triste, mi sento bene. They overlap a lot; sentirsi is slightly more personal and is the natural answer to come ti senti?<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Do emotion adjectives change for gender?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, they are normal adjectives and agree with the person. A man says sono stanco, contento; a woman says sono stanca, contenta; a group says siamo stanchi, contente. Adjectives ending in -e (felice) have only two forms, felice and felici.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q5\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between mi arrabbio and sono arrabbiato?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Mi arrabbio is the reflexive verb, the change: I get angry. Sono arrabbiato is the adjective, the state: I am angry. So mi sono arrabbiato means I got angry (and may still be), while sono arrabbiato just describes the current state. Many emotions have both a verb and an adjective.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q6\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I say I&#8217;m excited in Italian?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Use sono emozionato or non vedo l&#8217;ora. Avoid sono eccitato for excitement: eccitato in Italian usually has a sexual meaning. For being moved to tears use mi sono commosso; for looking forward to something, non vedo l&#8217;ora.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-em-q7\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How do I ask someone how they feel?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Come stai? (informal) or come sta? (formal) for the general how are you. Come ti senti? for how do you feel, especially about health or mood. Che hai? or cos&#8217;hai? literally what do you have, is the warm everyday way to ask when someone clearly looks upset.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three guides next to italian emotions in the everyday-language cluster, plus the institutional reference.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/sentimenti-negativi-indignarsi-arrabbiarsi-annoiarsi-podcast\/\">Italian Negative Feeling Verbs<\/a>: indignarsi, arrabbiarsi, annoiarsi in depth.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-piacere\/\">Italian Piacere<\/a>: mi piace and mi dispiace, the upside-down feeling verb.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-adjectives-podcast-quiz\/\">Italian Adjectives<\/a>: agreement, because emotion adjectives must agree.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/magazine\/lingua_italiana\/speciali\/Sentimenti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: Le parole dei sentimenti<\/a>: institutional reference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udd0d In short.
