How to Say ‘Good feeling.’ in Japanese

いいきもち。

ii kimochi

[ee kee-moh-chee]

🇯🇵 In Japan: [いいきもち。] is understandable, but in real coaching Japanese people may more often praise effort or attitude more directly with phrases like [いいね] or [そのきもちいいね]. On its own, it can sound a little childlike or context-dependent.
