The Hebrew word for emotion is רגש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הרגשה-טובה-2.m4a” /], a three-letter word that functions as a root as well. One application of this root is in the word (an active-causative verb) להרגיש[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הרגשה-טובה-3.m4a” /] – to feel, which becomes הרגשה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הרגשה-טובה-4.m4a” /] – a feeling – in noun form.

And a good feeling? That’s הרגשה טובה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הרגשה-טובה-1.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/הרגשה-טובה-5.m4a” /]המילים האלה עושות לי הרגשה טובה בלב.

These words give (make) me a good feeling in (my) heart.
