get into the vocab, here&#8217;s a story from my years teaching Chinese: students have asked me, more than once, how to say &#8220;I am so proud of you&#8221; in Chinese. Honestly, in my whole life I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever actually heard anyone say that sentence out loud. Sure, you could translate it directly as <span class=\"lang-zh-TW\">\u6211\u70ba\u4f60\u611f\u5230\u9a55\u50b2<\/span><span class=\"lang-zh-CN\">\u6211\u4e3a\u4f60\u611f\u5230\u9a84\u50b2<\/span>, but it always comes out sounding just a little stiff and unnatural. In that same situation, what a Chinese speaker would actually say is much simpler: <span class=\"lang-zh-TW\">\u4f60\u505a\u5f97\u5f88\u597d<\/span><span class=\"lang-zh-CN\">\u4f60\u505a\u5f97\u5f88\u597d<\/span> (&#8220;you did really well&#8221;).<\/p>\n\n  <p class=\"odc-kicker\">How you&#8217;re feeling<\/p>\n  <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Emotion_Words_in_Chinese\"><\/span>Emotion Words in Chinese<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n  <div class=\"odc-table-wrap\">\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr><th>Chinese<\/th><th>Pinyin<\/th><th>English<\/th><th>Korean<\/th><th>Japanese<\/th><\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr><td><span class=\"lang-zh-TW\">\u4e0d\u6eff<\/span><span class=\"lang-zh-CN\">\u4e0d\u6ee1<\/span><\/td><td>b\u00f9m\u01cen<\/td><td>Dissatisfied;
