"We are happy."

Translation: Kita senang.

[Janie956161]

I don't mind that 'sendang' also means 'happy', I just don't like that this is the first time we see it.

They should introduce a word before they test you on it.

[Stewart1463]

YES

[Kirstenv.l.]

Senang = Bahagia = gembira? So many words for happy. Is there any difference in nuance between them?

[Ellennad]

They are synonyms and no, there is no difference between them. However, they served a slightly different purpose from the point of expression.

• We express 'gembira' by laughing
• We express 'senang' by smiling
• Bahagia diekspresikan dalam hati dan perasaan. (Feeling)

But in Indonesia, simply use 'senang' or 'seneng' (non-formal word)

[Adam117151]

Can we just stick with the most common version of the word this is new version is just dropped on us in middle of a test.... Confusing

[Ankojem]

Bahagia. Gembira is for “joyful; hahaha-laughing happy.”
