I'm very happy, yeah! I just... every time... ok.

Hi, everybody, my name is Alisha.

Welcome back to Top Words! Today we're

going to be talking about happy words.

Very exciting! so let's go!

Happy

the first word is happy

as you might have guessed

happ is a happy word, when you

feel good, when you feel positive, when

you are excited, you can say I'm happy!

I was so happy to see my friend the other day.

What makes me happy? Food. I'm happy right now.

energetic

when you feel happy, perhaps you also feel energetic, you have

that sort of, like, uplifting feeling.

This chair is squeaking every time I move up.

I don't really describe my

friends or people as energetic, i might

say a dog or a cat is energetic, like, wow!

Your dog is so energetic,

what is she doing? She's running

everywhere, is she okay? Maybe i would say

about myself, I'm very energetic today, if

I've had a lot of coffee, like now.

Great!

you can use this to describe

people, a situation, a food, anything that

you think is good, is positive, is cool, is

groovy, is spectacular, is fantastic, I'm

sure we're going to talk about some of

these other words later so i should stop saying them.

To like

something that you are interested in, something that you

think is great, is good, is cool, is

awesome.

You can like anything, whatever it is,

just say "I like..."

followed by a noun phrase, that's how you

can share your hobbies, the things that

make you happy. In a question form, what

do you like? What do you like to do? I

like eating food, I like cooking food,

recently I like tofu.

To love

you can use it for very close friends, maybe in your language

using the word love has

a very very strong meaning, but in

English we tend to be a little more

casual about that. If you say to your,

like, your romantic partner, I love you.

That is a very deep meaning, you can say

it to your friends though,

like, so and so, so I love you.

That's fine, that's fine, too. We use "love"

and "like" to talk about how much we enjoy

something. If you say I love watching

movies, it sounds like it's maybe one of

your favorite activities, it's one of

your hobbies, It's something that you really

really enjoy. So think about that when

you choose like or love. I love cooking,

or I love, let's see, trying new beer.

Satisfied

The next word is satisfied,

usually we use the word satisfied after

something good has happened to us.

So for example, if you go out to a

restaurant, and you have a nice meal, you

really enjoy the food, afterwards you can

say oh I'm satisfied, that was really

good.

if you've provided a service to somebody,

you can say are you satisfied?

Proud

If you feel very good about an

accomplishment, or someone else has

accomplished something and they're happy

about it,

we use the word proud to describe that

feeling. So maybe I studied for a few

months and I passed a test that was

really difficult for me, I feel so proud.

Or let's see, my students have been

studying for a few years and their

conversation skills have improved so

much that we can have fun conversations

together, I'm really proud of them.

Yeah, if you're proud you can say I'm proud.

Though be careful if you say I'm so

proud, I'm so proud of myself, I'm so

proud of myself all the time, you might

sound self-centered.

Excited

The next word is excited, this is

usually before you do something that

you're very interested in, that you're

very happy about, like, I'm going to see a

new movie today, I'm so excited. Or I'm

going to try a new restaurant, I'm so

excited. It's to describe that, maybe, that

kind of upward

"yeah" feeling that you have before

you do something you're very interested in.

I'm excited! You can use this in the past

tense too, like, I was so excited to see

that movie last week, it was great!

What was the last thing I was excited

about? Coming here! I'm so excited to cook

food today. Oh my god!

Funny

something that makes you laugh is funny, I laugh a

lot, i think way too many things are

funny. This is true, my favorite people are

funny people.

My friend told me a really funny joke last week.

Hope

I hope I get to see my friends this weekend.

I hope the food that I cook later

is going to be delicious.

i hope that i can move to a new

apartment next year. I hope that my mom

has a great birthday next month.

Happy birthday, mom, in advance! This might be around your birthday.

So hope is a sense that

things are going to improve, that things

are somehow going to be

better than they are now, wanting

improvement, believing in improvement in

the future is hope. Those are ten happy

word I hope that you use them regularly,

and in particular the difference between

"good" and "great", and "like" and "love" can

really help you to distinguish how much

you appreciate something, or maybe help

you to explain your feelings more clearly.
