*Note: Most emotions are done using the verbs estar “to be (temporary)”, sentirse “to feel (an emotion)”, or ponerse “to become (typically suddenly as in moods)”. Using ser “to be (more permanent)” is not typically recommended because it can make it sound as if someone’s emotion is their natural personality, and can confuse the meaning since it isn’t technically wrong.

*Note 2: Many of these verbs can exist as non-reflexive or reflexive. This means that a verb like enojar means “to anger (someone else)” while enojarse means “to become angry”. The difference here is the object (the person or thing that receives the action of the verb. Some verbs aren’t going to be mentioned if they’re not pertaining to emotions, such as felicitar is “to congratulate”, but felicitarse means “to be pleased with oneself”.
