Finnish feelings in a nutshell

One of my students once said that Now I know why Finns don't talk about their feelings very much. The grammar is so complicated! I have to admit that one can have surprisingly many options to say almost the same thing:

• Minä olen sairas. - I am ill.
• Minulla on sairas olo. - I have an ill feeling. 
• Minusta tuntuu sairaalta. - I feel ill. 
• Tunnen itseni sairaaksi. - I feel myself ill.

Here are all my posts about the topic so far:

• Tuntea, tuntua, tutustua
• Tunti, tunne, tunto
• How do you feel in Finnish?
• Feeling verbs
• How to be exhausted and burdened in Finnish 
• How to be stressed in Finnish 

More posts where I have collected several posts into one:

• Passive
• Infinitives
• Participles
