Emotions 안녕하세요! I want to learn how to express my feelings to someone else, so emotions are not the only thing I'm looking for in this entry. How do you say, "I feel" or "I am" + the emotion? Is there a template like this that you can just plug in the words? Emotions: Fear, Shock, Anger, Sadness/Grief, Joy, Disgust, Pity, Envy, Tranquil, Annoyed, Relief, Anxious, Intimidated, Ashamed, Lazy, Bitter, Bored, Confused, Excited, Fatigue, Guilt. 감사합니다!

Actually your question was more trickier than I thought at first.

A basic Korean sentence goes

Subject + (Object + all junkies) + Verb

 

In casual speech, you don't have to follow the exact order. Just point out how you feel and what became the cause of the change in your feeling. Therefore you can drop the subject part because it's almost alway obvious on who is the one expressing the feeling.

 

A simple way to say all thoes emotion:

 

(event/person(or object) which causes your emotional change(...이/가/때문에/은/는) + ...해/어/되/다(and more)

 

 

If you want to see how things are put together,

*I only use "~때문에"(because of~)

 

(나) 너때문에 놀랐어(shocked)

너때문에 무서워(fear)

너때문에 화났어(angry)

너때문에 슬퍼(sad/grief)

너때문에 즐거워(joy)

너때문에 역겨워(disgust)

너때문에 부러워(pity)

너때문에 피곤해(fatigue/annoyed)

너때문에 괴로워(annoyed)

너때문에 안심이야(relief)

너때문에 혼란스러워(confused)

너때문에 부끄러워(ashamed)

나 게을러(lazy)

너때문에 지루해(bored)

너때문에 신나(excited)

너때문에 죄책감이 들어(guilty)

 

Some of feeling word that I am confused of without looking into for its defintion or

without knowing context, I didn't describe it here. I can do it later if you want to.

 

As you may see, they look almost the same. A few differences are come from adjective verb itself on its tense(Notice some of them are in past tense?)

For example, "I am shocked(너때문에 놀랐어)". In Korean, when an event happens before you are saying how you feel about it, sometimes we use a past tense. These unusual rules are what you need to remember. For another example like "I am angry(너때문에 화났어)", you can use "너때문에 화나" for its translation.

"화났어" is the past tense of "화나" However, we use both. Probably there's some explanation for it, but it would only make sense to you when you understand more on Korean and Korean way of saying.

 

And more to say, you can just say

"놀랐어", "무서워", "부러워", "부끄러워"(and more) without what's causing. Some of emotional verb doesn't necessarily require for a reason when the situation is obvious.

 

I think I am making you even more confused maybe, because I am getting confused  as well. There's alway something more to explain in order to explain one thing. And some part is difficult for me to just explain since I am not a linguist so I need to study by myself too. ^^;;;

 

Good luck and hope you understand just a little bit more by my help here.

(Ask me if there's some place in my writing you cannot understand^^y)
