Explanation at your level:

This phrase means you feel heavy stress. You use it when someone asks you to do something hard. It is like carrying a heavy bag on your back.
When you feel pressure because of work or a person's request, you say '부담을 느끼다'. It helps you explain why you are worried or why you might say no to a favor.
This is a common collocation used to express psychological strain. It is often used in professional or social settings to indicate that a task or expectation is exceeding your comfort zone. It is a polite way to signal that you are struggling with a responsibility.
The phrase '부담을 느끼다' serves as a crucial social tool in Korean discourse. It allows speakers to navigate high-context interactions by externalizing their internal stress. By attributing discomfort to 'burden' rather than the interlocutor, it preserves social harmony while clearly communicating personal boundaries.
Linguistically, this collocation functions as an idiomatic expression of cognitive load. It is frequently employed in 'face-saving' strategies, where the speaker mitigates the potential negative impact of a refusal. It reflects the collectivist cultural emphasis on maintaining interpersonal equilibrium by framing individual stress as an objective 'burden' rather than a subjective complaint.
The semantic evolution of '부담' from a concrete physical weight to an abstract psychological construct exemplifies the metaphorical mapping prevalent in Korean. The collocation '부담을 느끼다' is a sophisticated instrument of social pragmatics, enabling the speaker to negotiate power dynamics and expectations. It is essential for learners to distinguish between the internal state of 'feeling' (느끼다) and the external quality of the stimulus (부담스럽다) to achieve native-like fluency.
