Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

se sentir is about internal emotional states
ressentir is about external physical or emotional sensations

je me sens triste → I feel sad
je ressens sa peine → I feel his pain

Oh, I understand :)

Thanks! That's really useful!

Can I ask what you mean by emotional sensations?
As in 'I feel happiness' instead of 'I feel happy'?

I don't really know what it would mean to say "I feel happiness" but if I had to say that, I suppose I'd use ressentir
