How to articulate your emotions in Danish
WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD
Literal years ago, I got an ask about how to talk about emotions in Danish. I was never really entirely sure, what the person was asking about, but I recently had the idea to just flat out translate one of those "how to identify which emotion you're experiencing" charts. So here goes nothing
Please note: all of these are approximations, and a lot of the words that are used to describe the same general feeling are in fact more or less interchangeable, as is the case with the emotion chart.
This is the chart I used:
[ID in alt text]
bange - fearful
noun: frygt - fear
bange, frygtsom, ræd - scared
hjælpeløs - helpless
skræmt, rædselsslagen - frightened
nervøs, ængstelig - anxious
overvældet - overwhelmed
bekymret - worried
usikker - insecure
utilstrækkelig - inadequate
underlegen, mindreværdig - inferior
svag - weak
værdiløs - worthless
ubetydelig, betydningsløs - insignificant
afvist - rejected
holdt udenfor, ekskluderet - excluded
forfulgt - persecuted
truet - threatened
nervøs - nervous
udsat - exposed
sur - angry
noun: vrede - anger
skuffet, svigtet - let down
forrådt - betrayed
forurettet - resentful
ydmyget - humiliated
ikke føle sig respekteret - feel disrespected
gjort nar ad, latterliggjort - ridiculed
bitter - bitter
forarget - indignant
krænket - violated
vred - mad
rasende - furious
jaloux - jealous
aggressiv - aggressive
provokeret - provoked
hostile - fjendtlig
frustreret - frustrated
arrig - infuriated
irriteret - annoyed
fjern - distant
tilbagetrukken/tilbagetrukket - withdrawn
følelsesløs, følelsesforladt - numb
kritisk - critical
skeptisk - sceptical
affejende, afvisende - dismissive
frastødt - disgusted
noun: afsky - disgust
misbilligende - disapproving
fordømmende - judgemental
pinligt berørt - embarrassed
skuffet - disappointed
forfærdet - appalled
væmmes (verb, reflexive) - to be revolted
e.g. jeg væmmes ved lugten af fisk 'I am revolted by the smell of fish'
frygtelig - awful
kvalm - nauseated
foragtelig - detestable
frastødt - repelled
forfærdet - horrified
tøvende - hesitant
ked af det - sad
noun: bedrøvelse, sorg - sadness, sorrow
såret - hurt
flov - embarrassed
skuffet - disappointed
deprimeret*, nedtryk - depressed
mindreværdig - inferior
tom, følelsesforladt - empty
*while deprimeret like English depressed primarily should be used in relation to a medical diagnosis of depression, it is also used as a synonym of nedtrykt (literally ned 'down, de' + trykt 'pressed') in the vernacular
skyldig - guilty
fortrydende, skyldbetynget, angerfuld - remorseful
skamfuld - ashamed
fortvivlelse - despair
adj: fortvivlet - despairing
sorg - grief
adj: sorgfuld, sorgramt, sørgende - grief-stricken, grieving
magtesløs - powerless
sårbar - vulnerable
gjort til offer, offergjort - victimised
skrøbelig - fragile
ensom - lonely
isoleret - isolated
efterladt - abandoned
glad - happy
noun: glæde, lykke - happiness
legesyg, legende - playful
ophidset - aroused
fræk - cheeky
