Vocabulary feelings and emotions

Feelings and emotions 

Aprender palabras útiles sobre sentimientos y emociones es muy importante para mejorar tu vocabulario en inglés. Hay muchas ocasiones en las que es posible que debas hablar sobre cómo te sientes, o quizás describir cómo se siente otra persona. 

Es vital poder comprender los nombres de las distintas emociones en inglés, pues es posible que te hablen sobre algún estado emocional o una caracteristica de la personalidad, y tú mal interpretes lo que te quieren decir. Por lo tanto, debes comprender los nombres de estas emociones en situaciones en las que alguien te esté explicando cómo se siente y, al poder reconocer lo que está diciendo, podrás ayudarlo mejor.

Como al hablar de las emociones se trata de explicar "como está" o "como es" la persona, se emplea el famoso verbo "to be", ya que éste es el verbo  "estar y ser" en inglés.

• She is glad.
• Peter is relaxed.
• We were jealous.
• You will be scared of that movie.

Is Roxy hopeful about her present situation?

- Yes, she is.

- No, she isn't.

Para obtener información de cómo se siente la persona, puedes emplear algunas de estas preguntas.

Vocabulario "Carnaval"

 

El carnaval es una la fiesta popular que se celebra en los países de tradición cristiana.

El carnaval es una celebración anual, alegre, que se realiza durante los tres días que preceden al Miércoles de Ceniza y, por lo tanto, a la Cuaresma.

La palabra procede de la expresión latina carnem levare, ‘quitar la carne’, aludiendo a la prohibición de comer carne los cuarenta días cuaresmales, durante los cuales no debe consumirse ni carne ni grasa animal. El término Carnestolendas proviene del latín "dominica ante carnes tollendas" (el domingo antes de quitar las carnes).
