How to Talk About Your Feelings in Arabic (Beginner to Fluent)

Conversational Arabic.

1. Start with Basic Feeling Words

✅ Learn simple “I feel” expressions using the present tense:

🗣 Example (Beginner level):
أنا سعيد. – I’m happy.
أنا تعبان. – I’m tired.
أنا جوعان. – I’m hungry.
أنا مشغول. – I’m busy.

🎯 Keep it short and repeat them in context during your day.

2. Build Your Core Emotions Vocabulary

✅ Start with feelings you use often:

سعيد / سعيدة – Happy
تعبان / تعبانة – Tired
غضبان / غضبانة – Angry
مرتاح – Comfortable
قلق – Worried
جوعان – Hungry
عطشان – Thirsty

🧠 In MasterStudy, we introduce these inside daily role-play conversations to make them stick.

3. Add “Because” to Give Reason

📍Use لأن (because) to explain your feelings:

🗣 Example:
أنا متوتر لأن عندي امتحان. – I’m nervous because I have an exam.
أنا مرتاح لأن خلصت شغلي. – I’m relaxed because I finished my work.

🎯 This is a great way to build longer, more natural sentences.

4. Practice with the Question: "كيف حالك؟"

Learn how to ask and respond to this everyday phrase:

كيف حالك؟ – How are you?
بخير، الحمد لله. – I’m fine, thank God.
مشغول شوي، بس تمام. – A bit busy, but okay.

🎯 Use this as your go-to opener in real or practice conversations.

5. Use Feelings in Past and Future

🧠 Try the “How did you feel?” and “How will you feel?” drill:

كيف شعرت البارحة؟ – How did you feel yesterday?
كيف تشعر اليوم؟ – How do you feel today?
كيف تتوقع أن تشعر غداً؟ – How do you expect to feel tomorrow?

🗣 Example:
شعرت بالإرهاق أمس. – I felt exhausted yesterday.
اليوم أشعر بالنشاط. – Today I feel energetic.
غداً أظن أني سأكون مرتاح. – I think tomorrow I’ll be relaxed.

🎯 No need for grammar rules — just practice naturally with your own examples.

6. Daily One-Minute Feelings Journal

Each day, answer out loud:
"كيف شعرت اليوم؟" – How did you feel today?

🕐 Speak for 1 minute
🎙 Record yourself
🔁 Rephrase or add more emotion-based detail the next day

7. Try Mini-Dialogues Based on Emotions

🗣 Sample Dialogue:

A: كيف كان يومك؟
B: كان صعب شوي. كنت مشغول وتعبت كثير.
A: ارتحت بعد الشغل؟
B: نعم، أكلت وارتحت شوي.

🎯 Practice both sides of the conversation. These emotional exchanges are common in Arabic-speaking communities.
