Names and adsresses

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

I think so. No matter where somebody is from, it is common. Because, people always express how they feel and what they think, so feeling emotions are storongly connected with facial expressions. For example,when people feel sad, they can be crying.
There are lots of differences for each countries, but I feel the only one common thing is feeling emotions and facial expressions.

2. Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese. ( 10 minimum) Now write the English translation.

①kanasii(悲しい)- sad ②tanoshii(楽しい)- fun ③sabisii(寂しい)- lonely ④uresii(嬉しい)- glad ⑤siawase(幸せ)- happy ⑥okoru(怒る)- get angry ⑦natukasii(懐かしい)- miss ⑧odoroku(驚く)- be surprised ⑨kuyasii(悔しい)- regret ⑩sinnpai(心配)- worry  
⑪itai(痛い)-hurt ⑫tukareru(疲れる)-exhauste ⑬tumaranai(つまらない)-boring⑭irairasuru(いらいらする)-annoying

3. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?

jyouchobukai(情緒深い), kanngaibukai(感慨深い),arienai(ありえない)
kuchiwonigosu(口を濁す)
