Cultural Note
Unlike 'contente' (which uses 'estar'), 'feliz' can use both 'ser' and 'estar': 'sou feliz' implies a general state of life happiness, while 'estou feliz' refers to a current moment. 'Feliz Natal' (Merry Christmas) and 'Feliz Ano Novo' (Happy New Year) are essential holiday greetings.
