    In (American) English, people often speak of "heartache" (heart + ache) meaning that they are missing people the love or something similar. "Ache" often means a longer term pain (headache, stomachache, toothache, etc). "Hurt" often means a shorter term pain: (I hurt my finger, I hurt my toe, that hurt my feelings).

    "Influence" is often used a bit more subtly and often with people: I influenced his decision to go to college. She influenced the board to get her friend a promotion. "Affect" -- at least in my experience -- is more often used to describe a change: I wonder if this vinegar will have any affect on this baking soda? Global warming seems to have a strong affect on climate change.
