When talking about how i feel, would i say good or well?

Question

I don't feel very well

OR

i don't feel very good

Answer 1

I DON'T FEEL VERY WELL, would be the correct, proper way to say it.

Answer 2

Either one is correct, but "I don't feel very well" suggests more specifically that you're sick.  After a linking verb, which "feel" is in this construction, one should use an adjective, not an adverb, but in this context, "well" and "ill" (which is actually an adverb meaning "badly" most of the time) are adjectives, referring to health.  You can feel bad about hurting someone's feelings or about being spoken to unkindly or about a sad event, but you feel ill only when you're at least slightly sick.  (I believe that in British usage, "sick" has the more specific meaning of nauseated.)  Similarly, you can feel good about many things not related to your health.

Answer 3

Well

Answer 4

"I don't feel very well" is the correct way to express that sentiment.

Answer 5

I don't feel well indicates a state of being in poor health.

I don't feel good would indicate that your sense of touch is out of whack.

Answer 6

Good is not an adverb, so you can't use to describe how you "feel" (verb.)  However, "good" is an adjective as well as a noun, so if you have just mugged an old lady, "I don't feel good" would be quite appropriate.

Edit - I just gave Aida a thumbs up.  I hope that you do too.

Answer 7

If you're speaking of health, then you say, "well."

If you're speaking of something else, you could say, "I don't feel very good about this job offer."

Answer 8

GOOD
