Here are several ways to say “I feel” in German depending on the context:

  • Ich fühle (I feel) — general feeling or sensing something.
  • Ich fühle mich (I feel myself) — to express how you feel emotionally or physically, e.g., Ich fühle mich glücklich (I feel happy).
  • Mir ist + [noun] — to say “I am” or “I feel” with a noun, e.g., Mir ist schlecht (I feel sick), Mir ist langweilig (I am bored).
  • Mir geht es + [adjective] — to express how you are feeling in a more descriptive way, e.g., Mir geht es gut (I am feeling well).
  • Ich habe + [noun] — to say “I have” in terms of feelings or conditions, e.g., Ich habe Angst (I am afraid).
  • Ich bin + [adjective] — simply “I am” with an adjective that describes your state, e.g., Ich bin müde (I am tired).

More casual or specific expressions include:

  • Ich habe Lust auf… (I feel like/want to…) for expressing desire or craving.
  • Ich fühle mich wie… (I feel like…) for comparisons or describing feelings metaphorically.

Each of these phrases can be modified with adverbs like “sehr” (very), “ein bisschen” (a little), or “total” (totally) to indicate intensity.

Examples:

  • Ich fühle mich heute sehr gut. (I feel very good today.)
  • Mir ist kalt. (I feel cold.)
  • Ich habe keine Lust. (I don’t feel like it.)
