A-Z Feelings and emotions

Question

OK I am jumping on the alphabetical band wagon The rules are the same. Let's see if we can name emotions or states of mind starting with A in Spanish with the translation in English along side.

I think it is ok if there are multiple answers of the same letter or idioms.No sentences. I want to keep it simple

A=abandonado=abandoned,forsaken

Answer 7

Just to clarify why EBULLICION is not considered an emotion:

ebullición 1 Movimiento violento del agua u otro líquido con producción de burbujas como consecuencia del aumento de su temperatura o por estar sometido a fermentación. hervor.

2 Estado de agitación: el país está pasando un momento de gran ebullición política.

3 Paso de una sustancia del estado líquido al gaseoso, manteniéndose las dos fases en equilibrio.

Diccionario Manual de la Lengua Española Vox. © 2007 Larousse Editorial, S.L.

ebullición

1. Hervor. Agitación transitoria del agua cuando hierve.

2. Termo. Paso de líquido a vapor (vaporización) que se realiza en toda la masa de un fluido.

Todas las descripciones son "estados físicos" de la materia. It can not be used with personal emotions. If you say something like "Estoy en estado de ebullición", sound really weird. Nobody wil understand you or at least your are within a group of physics or chemists.

Answer 8

ebullicíon=ebullience, effervescence

Someone might want to explain in detail why they do not feel this word is an emotion.I checked the reference in this dictionary, Vox Spanish/English and Everest dictionary of synonyms and antonyms before this was posted.

I don't think this is an emotion or feeling - Doriz, Mar 6, 2010

ebullience is enthusiasm. effervesence may be more metaphorical but it is an emotion - nizhoni1, Mar 6, 2010

no really, it doesn't work in spanish. - juluque, Mar 7, 2010

I've posted the clarification as you requested. - Doriz, Mar 8, 2010
