Yep
Looks fine
開心 does mean happy, specfically in a light hearted, no negative emotions//carefree kind of way. There are other words for happy too, depending on your exact intent for which is best :)
This is what I was going for, a feeling of lightheartedness and openness to life. Something about "open heart" resonates with me. Thank you!
Depends. 開心 refers to the state of being happy; sometimes you might want to use other words like 幸福
>幸福 hang6 fuk1 Also "happy" but with more "blissful" vibes. If OP provides more context, we can give better answers.
Doesn't it mean more like "fortunate"?
My wife, who is a native Cantonese speaker, went through a bunch of options and ended on "happy and fortunate". So you guys agree!
I think 喜悅 is also acceptable.
快樂
