Learn the best way to communicate in Spanish
I am happy
Estoy felíz.
Nota: No es lo mismo ser felíz, que estar felíz.
Ser es una característica permanente con la que se nace. No cambia. Ejemplos:
Soy mujer
Soy blanca
Soy alta
Estar es temporal. Ejemplos:
Estoy ocupada
Estoy estudiando
Estoy en europa

Confident upbeat Spanish for native & non-native speakers and writers
In general, estar works best with adjectives that relate to temporary rather than permanent situations. Assuming that one is happy in this moment or at this particular time one refers to, then using estar is correct. Ser is used for conditions or situations considered permanent. Estoy feliz is correct.
