Sono felice! = I am happy!
Sono stanco/a. = I am tired. (stanco = m, stanca = f)
Non sono triste. = I am not sad.
Come stai? = How are you? (informal)
Come sta? = How are you? (formal)

Common answers:
Sto bene, grazie! = I am well, thanks!
Non sto tanto bene. = Iโ€™m not so well.
Cosรฌ cosรฌ. = So-so.
Sto benissimo! = Iโ€™m great / very well!

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Many emotion adjectives change ending for gender: arrabbiato (m) โ†’ arrabbiata (f). Always match the adjective to the speakerโ€™s gender!
