I feel her beautiful(?)

Hi~

I think I'm having a confussion about English adjcective caused by the difference between my first language and English. So , I have made some sentnences that could seem strange but to me are direct translations to English from my first tounge.

1.I think she is beautiful.
2.I feel she is beautiful.
3.I think her beautiful.
4.I feel her beautiful.
5.I feel beautiful from/at/in her. (Is this sturucture possible with any other prepositions?)
6.I feel beauty from her.

I'm guessing #1,#2, and #3 are possible. But I'm not sure if from #3 to #6 are acceptable.

Many thanks in advance!

If so, could I say I feel beauty in the wind(something), though 'I feel beauty in her(someone)' is strange? (There were some sentences like the firs

I feel beautiful, although is not really something you will hear often, is probably understood to mean " I am feeling so good, that everything is beautiful.

I feel her beauty -grammatically is correct. But feeling one's beauty sounds kind of unnatural. Beauty is pe

I feel beautiful sounds like you probably don’t usually think you look beautiful but that you feel beautiful at this moment.

I think I am beautiful is a general opinion about yourself. You probably always think of yourself this way.
