📌

Emotional state adjectives — relajado (relaxed), preocupado (worried), emocionado (excited), equivocado (mistaken) — all naturally pair with estar: Estoy muy emocionado, Estás equivocado. They describe how someone feels, not who they are.

🔧

Physical descriptors — apretado (tight), pesado (heavy), estrecho (narrow) describe objects' physical qualities: El pasillo es muy estrecho (The hallway is very narrow). Esta maleta está muy pesada (This suitcase is very heavy). Feo/a (ugly) applies to people and situations.

💬

Expressing strong reaction — ¡Qué feo! is used for ugly things but also bad behaviour: ¡Qué feo lo que hizo!. Amargo (bitter) works literally and emotionally: una victoria amarga (a bittersweet win). ¡Qué desagradable! (How unpleasant!) rounds out your toolkit.
