Cultural Note
'Os meus sentimentos' (my sentiments/condolences) is the standard phrase used to express sympathy at funerals and during mourning. In romantic contexts, 'declarar os seus sentimentos' (to declare one's feelings) is the traditional way to describe confessing love to someone. The word carries a deeper, more lasting connotation than 'emoção.'
