Names and Addresses

1.Are feelings, emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc..?

I think universal across borders do not change emotions and facial expression. For example, smile to happy, cry to sad, yawn to sleepy, etc...

2.Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese.　
楽しい/happy
うれしい/glad
悲しい/sad
さみしい/lonely
疲れる/tired
眠い/sleepy
怒る/angry
だるい/lazy
面白い/funny
わくわくする/excite

3.Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translates into English?
おじゃまします。
よろしくお願いします。
ごちそうさまでした。
お疲れ様でした。
いってきます。ただいま。など...

    Hello.
    I agree with you.

    I had experience that I can't translateおじゃまします into English when I went to England.

    I can't find correct word, so I bowed when I enter the hostfamily's house.

    My hostfamily can't understand my action, and they ask me "Are you a Christian".

    I confused it.

    I see...
    Maybe I think ただいま is can translate into "I am home now." in America. But there is a little difference in nuance.

    Hi! kiki

    I enjoy reading your comment.
    I want to say "おじゃまします" in English, but I can't find correct word. It is difficult.

    But I think I don't take things too seriously. And,I don't know how to say"おじゃまします" so I say "Hello" when I enter house.

    I agree with itadekimasu being difficult to translate. I'm still not sure exactly how it is explained.

    I am very sorry but I have misplaced the sign-up sheet with the volunteers names and email addresses on it. If you signed up to make potato salad, set-up, cook/serve food, or clean up, please leave me a comment!

    Hello:)

    I agree with you.
    I can't translate おじゃまします in to English.

    It is so difficult.

    When I went to England, I said only "Hello".
