### Feelings and sensations

| Spanish | what it usually describes |
|---|---|
| **el sentimiento** | an emotion: love, fear, jealousy |
| **la sensación** | something felt in the body, or a vague impression |
| **notar** | to notice or sense something, often a change |

Fear is an emotion, so it is **un sentimiento**:

{{item:1252942}}

Cold water on your skin is physical, so it is **una sensación**:

{{item:1252900}}

**Tener la sensación de que…** is the everyday way to say *to have the feeling that…*: an impression, not an emotion.

{{item:1252899}}

### Who feels it, who causes it

With **hacer gracia** (to amuse) and **decepcionar** (to disappoint), the cause is the subject, and the person who feels it is usually a pronoun before the verb (**me, te, nos**…), much like **fastidiar** or **dar pena**. Followed by **que**, they take the subjunctive, as **fastidiar** does.

{{item:1252910}}

{{item:1252908}}

The noun for the feeling is **la decepción**, disappointment (not deception).

### Getting tired, being drunk

**Cansarse** is the change: you *get* tired. **Estar cansado** is the state you end up in. **Cansarse de** + infinitive means to get tired of doing something.

{{item:1252939}}

**Estar borracho** is being drunk right now; **un borracho** is a drunkard.
