Expressing Feelings

1.Are feelings emotions and facial expressions universal across borders, happy, sad, etc..?
Yes, I think so. Althougth that we are nationality differences but we have same emotional;
Sad, Happy,Funny etc.
2. Try to name as many feelings as possible in Japanese. ( 10 minimum) Now write the English translation.
怒る   angry
  面白い funny
  悲しい sad
  うらやましい enviously
  嬉しい happy

3. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?
お疲れ様
 I think this word is difficult to translated it.
