感想 refers to thoughts and impression upon a certain experience involving judgement and reflection

感情 refers to emotions and all kinds of emotional states

気持ち refers to the feeling of one's body. Usually as 気持ちいい or 気持ち悪い to express that something feels physically good or bad.

• 気持ち generally refers to emotions or feelings, often related to one's personal sentiments or emotions toward someone or something.
• 気分 on the other hand, refers more to the overall state of one's mood or feeling at a particular moment, often influenced by external factors.

So, 気持ち is more specific to personal emotions, while 気分 is broader, encompassing the current mood or state of being.

Level: 153
ほど (as a noun) attaches to other nouns or verbs. ほど has two key usages, where in each case, it expresses an "upper limit":

(1) To express an "extent", similar to くらい / ぐらい. Unlike くらい though, ほど stresses a larger extent/degree than expected. E.g. これほど悪いとは思わなかった = "I didn't think it was this bad" (where the "bad" was more than expected or desired).

(1.5) Related to use case #1, ほど can be used to make a comparison, where ほど emphasizes the extreme quality of something. E.g. 死ぬほど暑い = "it's hot to the extent of dying". This is the most common use of ほど, and it's used for literary/figurative exaggerations.

(2) As an independent adjectival noun (with な before ほど) to express an "upper limit". E.g. ばかにもほどがある = "Even stupidity has an upper limit".

After getting this one wrong a million times, I decided to do some research about the difference between どういう and どんな. Here's my understanding of it:

どんな asks for an abstract or general description. You might say どんな映画ですか？ to ask what kind of movie it is, as in a horror movie or a scary movie.

どういう on the other hand, asks for specific, in depth, or rational explanations. You might ask どういう映画ですか？ to ask what kind of movie it is, but expect a more detailed explanation about the plot as an answer, for example.

The context I found this in wasどういう意味ですか？ to ask for the meaning of a word.

ALIGHT
Level: 649
法令 = laws and regulation which include laws (法律) + cabinet orders (政令) (or ministerial orders (省令))

法律 = Basically very close to English "law" used in legal contexts. In its narrow sense, it usually refers to statutory laws prescribed under the authority of a legislature. In Japan, only National Diet have the right to create 法律 in the narrow sense. In its broader sense, it may refer to any regulations determined by various government entities, or jurisprudence in general. You can say "I major in 法律 at my university to become a lawyer", for example.

法: Has various meanings, but in legal contexts, it's a stiffer way of saying 法律.

法規: Regulation; framework of law. Usually a broader idea than 法律, and it includes not only 法律 in its narrow sense but also 条例 (regulation of local government), 制令 (government ordinance), 憲法 (constitution), etc. 法制 is another word which is very close to 法規.

規則: Rule. (Written) rules in an company, school, or a similar organizations.

ルール: Rule. It's a relatively casual word that means the same things as 規則, but ルール also typically refers to rules of sports and games.

決まり: Rule. As a 和語, it's a very broad word that sounds more casual and colloquial than 規則. It typically refers to rules within a family, among friends, etc., but in conversations, it can refer to any 法律/法規.

掟: An old word which broadly refers to rules, regulations and laws. You will see this only in historical novels and in a few idioms. Maybe "code" is similar.

規律: Discipline; organized behavior of people in accord with local laws and rules in a church, a school, an army, etc. It can also refer to a collection of such local rules if used with verbs like 守る and 従う.

法則: Laws in the sense of principle or fundamental nature of something. 重力の法則 (law of gravity), マーフィーの法則 (Murphy's law), ムーアの法則 (Moore's law), etc.
