Hi!! long time no see...
i am not good at PC. so, i sometimes cant write blogs well :(
1.Are feelings, emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc..?
I think 'yes'. but i think also its difficult.
I think it is easy to tell some feelings like happy, sad or something. Because we can explain such feelings with our smail or tears.
'mukatuku' is hard to say in English. I think 'mukatuku' is not so serious.
Japanese has many expressions or words which are has dubious (曖昧な）meanings.
2. Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese. ( 10 minimum) Then, write the English translation.
-楽しい Happy
-悲しい Sad
-嬉しい pleased/happy
-わくわくする excited
-いらいらする irritate
-おもしろい fun
-どきどきする Beat
-退屈する bored
-がっかりする depressed
-だるい lazy/tired
-緊張する nervous
３. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?
i think 'mukatuku' is a littel diffrent just 'angry'.
'Otsukaresama' is hard to translated into English.
