الشعور كان منيح.

It is a noun, specifically a verbal noun / abstract noun meaning feeling or sensation.

It comes from the root ش ع ر, which has to do with feeling, sensing, or being aware. So in this sentence, الشعور is the thing being talked about: the feeling.

It is not a verb here.

Because الـ is the Arabic definite article, meaning the.

So:

• شعور = feeling
• الشعور = the feeling

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about a specific feeling, not just feelings in general.

In Levantine, it is pronounced roughly ish-shuʕuur or esh-shuʕuur, depending on the speaker and region.

Two useful things to notice:

• The ش is a sun letter, so the ل in الـ is not pronounced clearly.
• That is why ال + شعور sounds like ash-shuʕuur / ish-shuʕuur / esh-shuʕuur, not al-shuʕuur.

Also:

• عو contains the consonant ع, which has no exact English equivalent.
• The final ـور has a long oo sound.

كان means was here.

Arabic usually does not use a verb meaning is/am/are in the present tense, but it does use كان for the past.

So compare:

• الشعور منيح = The feeling is good
• الشعور كان منيح = The feeling was good

That is one of the most important patterns in Arabic.

Yes.

If you say:

• الشعور منيح
  it means The feeling is good

If you say:

• الشعور كان منيح
  it means The feeling was good

So the version with كان is past tense, and the version without it is present tense.

Because الشعور is masculine singular, so the adjective also stays masculine singular.

In Levantine:

• منيح = masculine singular
• منيحة = feminine singular
• مناح / منيحين etc. = plural forms, depending on dialect and structure

Since الشعور is masculine, منيح is the correct form.

Because منيح is the predicate adjective here, not an adjective directly attached to the noun.

Compare these two ideas:

1. الشعور كان منيح
   = The feeling was good
   Here منيح is the description after was.

2. الشعور المنيح
   = the good feeling
   Here المنيح is directly modifying the noun.

So in your sentence, منيح should stay without الـ.

Yes, both are possible.

• الشعور كان منيح
• كان الشعور منيح

Both can mean the same thing: The feeling was good.

The version you have, الشعور كان منيح, starts with the topic the feeling, and then comments on it. This is very natural in speech.

The version كان الشعور منيح is also correct, but it sounds a bit more neutral or more verb-first in structure.

So the sentence you were given is a normal colloquial way to say it.

No. منيح is a colloquial Levantine word meaning good.

In Modern Standard Arabic, you would more likely see something like:

• كان الشعور جيدًا

So this sentence mixes:

• a noun that is common and understandable across varieties: الشعور
• a clearly Levantine adjective: منيح

That is very normal in spoken Arabic. Spoken Levantine often uses vocabulary that is not fully Standard Arabic.

Yes, it is understandable and natural enough, especially in conversation.

That said, depending on context, native speakers might also say things like:

• الإحساس كان منيح
• كان إحساس منيح
• كنت حاسس منيح if the meaning is more like I felt good

So الشعور كان منيح works, but in real life there may be other very common ways to express a similar idea.

It can refer to either, depending on context.

It can mean:

• an emotional feeling
• a sense / sensation
• a general feeling

So without context, الشعور كان منيح could refer to an emotional state or a general sensation. The surrounding conversation usually makes that clear.

Because Arabic does not use a dummy subject the way English often does.

In English, you might say:

• It was a good feeling

But Arabic can simply say:

• الشعور كان منيح
  literally: The feeling was good

So instead of using a placeholder word like it, Arabic often names the thing directly.

Three key things:

• الشعور = a noun, the feeling
• كان = past tense was
• منيح = Levantine good

So the pattern to remember is:

• [noun] + كان + [adjective]

For example:

• الجو كان منيح = The weather was good
• الفيلم كان حلو = The movie was nice
• الشعور كان منيح = The feeling was good

That pattern is very useful in Levantine Arabic.
