Feeling is the nominalization of the verb to feel. The word was first used in the English language to describe the physical sensation of touch through either experience or perception. The word is also used to describe experiences other than the physical sensation of touch, such as "a feeling of warmth" and of sentience in general. In Latin, sentiremeant to feel, hear or smell.
In marketing: Design should reflect what your company does.
A GUT FEELING, or gut reaction, is a visceral emotional reaction to something. It may be negative, such as a feeling of uneasiness, or positive, such as a feeling of trust. Gut feelings are generally regarded as not modulated by conscious thought, and as a reflection of intuition rather than rationality. The phrase "gut feeling" may also be used as a shorthand term for an individual's "common sense" perception of what is considered "the right thing to do"; such as: helping an injured passerby, avoiding dark alleys and generally acting in accordance with instinctive feelings about a given situation. It can also refer to simple common knowledge phrases which are true no matter when said, such as "Water is wet", "Fire is hot", or to ideas that an individual intuitively regards as true, without proof.
What in the world are all (or some) of those people feeling?
What in the world could all of those people be feeling?
Take a walk down Memory Lane. Just follow the song, and sing along, if you wish (recomended).
Good evening, everybody.
ResponderEliminarA lot of new words to describe feelings. Let me add a word I usually hear on TV programs: "amazing". Of course, talking about feelings, the proper word would be "amazed". And some synonims: flabbergasted, astonished, taken aback ... all of them used by Ken Follet in his books, some of which I'm reading nowadays.
And in the song, a classical one, let's stand out an expression: "I wish". A very useful expression when speaking english.
Thank you so much, Astrid
See you tomorrow
Hello Paco:
ResponderEliminarThank you so much for your quick response, and of course, you are more than welcome. I like the fact that you actually look for synonyms of words and expressions; that is a very good way of enriching your vocabulary. Also, it is very useful the reading of good texts with tons of things and information for you to use.
I find this last note of yours very good.
One correction though, when naming a language, you must use a capital. So, the proper way to say it is: English, or Spanish, and so on and so forth.
Best regards, see you tomorrow.
Astrid Arroyave.
Thank you for your correction, Astrid.
EliminarI must get used to write in english and the only way is to keep on trying and making (few, I hope) mistakes.
See you soon
