wonderful

Do you native speakers say 'I was wonderful' to mean 'I felt great'?
  

Top answer

Not I. I feel wonderful -- but I seldom say that because I seldom do. The dance was wonderful -- I used to say that when I was a young whippersnapper.

Hi,

"I am doing wonderful" and "I am doing great" are common in spoken english. I hear the latter all the time, but I don't hear anyone say the former.

Maybe after a successful performance of some sort you might say, "I was wonderful". I imagine a female saying that.
