Emotions and moods in Spanish

At emotions and the moods are adjectives that give characteristics and qualify the noun. These adjectives are often used with temporary change verbs, such as verbs be, to feel and *put on(be, to feel y poner, in Spanish). These last two verbs are usually accompanied by a reflexive pronoun (ej.: yomeI feel bien; Juan ifI put nervous / MemeI feel good; Juan *ifput nervous).

OJO!

*In Portuguese, we do not use the verb “to place” to indicate changes in emotional, mood or state of health, however, we kept the literal translation of the verb for the explanation, in Spanish, not to lose the sense.
