1.Are feelings, emotions, and facial expessions universal across borders?
Yes, I think so. For example, children who cannot speak language yet smile when they are happy, cry when they are sad, or get angry when they don't like something. It is common all over the world.
While, words and gestures are different between other countries. For example, "nod" means "yes" in Japan or America, but I heard that some countries it means "no".

Hello!!
返信削除I agree with you. Many feelings in Japana are same feelings in other countries but words and gestures are different. So, I think human of feelings is very interested.
Hello!
返信削除I agree with you.
Especially, "恋しい"-"miss" is common word all over the world.
But transtlating is very difficult, I think. If I can make myself understand about my Englush. But my friends can not understand about my feeling, that is no meaning.
