Significado
Being in a good state.
Contexto cultural
Russians often prefer 'Нормально' (Normal) to 'Хорошо' (Good) to avoid appearing boastful or inviting bad luck. In medical contexts, 'самочувствие' (self-feeling) is a formal noun used to ask about health. The phrase is often used by Chekhov and Tolstoy to show a character's rare moment of harmony with nature. The 'wellness' movement has made 'feeling good' a popular topic on Russian Instagram, often using the English loanword 'вайб' (vibe).
The Silent 'V'
Don't try to pronounce the first 'в' in 'чувствовать'. It makes you sound like a textbook from the 1950s.
The 'Sebya' Rule
Always include 'себя'. If you forget it, Russians will wait for you to finish the sentence (e.g., 'I feel... what?').

Honesty over Politeness
If you don't feel well, it's okay to say 'Я чувствую себя не очень.' Russians value a sincere answer over a fake 'I'm good.'
