Answer 1

You say: yo estoy mal or me encuentro mal.

The question you would have to ask:

¿Qué tal se encuentra ? ¿Cómo está?

yo estoy mal? :D Ese sujeto me parece que está de mas. Un saludo ;) - liloman, Oct 15, 2009

Answer 2

They are really both the same, although in a book, one might be called wrong. I would understand them both as what they mean, but I'm not a teacher and don't look at constructions as a teacher would.

Answer 3

If you look up (or even double-click on) each of the words mi and yo, you'll get the answer to your first question.

To your second question -- what should the response be -- that depends on what you want to say back to them. Can you provide a phrase (and a translation attempt on your own) that you want to say in response to someone telling you they don't feel well?

And finally, in an aside to your first question, I would use the wording No me siento bien. I wonder whether that's more commonly heard in practice, though...

Answer 4

It could be "me siento mal" or "no me siento bien."
