"yo estoy feliz" ? Why is it "estoy" but not "soy"? Or both are correct?

Saliha, you can say it both ways, but the meanings are different "Yo estoy feliz": means I feel happy (maybe today, or this week, but implies a short period of time. The situation might change tomorrow or next week) "Yo soy feliz": means I am happy, or I am a happy person (implies a much longer period of time, perhaps, a whole life time) That's the difference always between the verbs "ser" and "estar". "Ser" implies a permanent, unchanging condition. "Estar" describes a changing, temporary condition. Very different meanings in Spanish

The phrase: "estoy feliz" talks about an specific moment in the line time of the person. The phrase: "soy feliz" talks about the life of the person, in general. La frase: "estoy feliz" habla de un momento específico en la línea de tiempo de la persona. La frase "soy feliz" habla de la vida de la persona en general.
