How to use it
Feliz (happy) can use both ser and estar with different implications. Ser feliz = to be a happy person (general disposition). Estar feliz = to be happy right now (current state). At A1, both are acceptable.
Common mistake
Unlike 'cansado' or 'contento', feliz can appear with both ser and estar — choose based on whether you mean a general trait or a current feeling.
