Just a little translation question

[kamuizero]

Hey Everyone!, I have a little question for you all, I want to say " (girl name here) you are a great person " I think the translation could be something like : " (girl name here)chan suteki na hito da yo "....Is this right?

Thanks in advance

It's right. Adding "ha" would make your translation perfect.
(name)chan "ha" suteki na hito da yo.

You can use "subarashii" instead of "suteki".

Yeah we should point out that that 'ha' is a particle that is said like 'wa' but written with the hiragana that is used for 'ha'. (Hmm, more easily explained if you can see Japanese text.

In Hepburn romaji は is written as 'wa' if it is the /particle/ は

(name)chan wa suteki na hito da yo
(name)ちゃん は すてき な ひと だ よ。 <- particle は

hai sou da ne.
はい そう だ ね。<- normal は
Yes that's right.

watashi mo sou omou.
わたし も そう おもう。 <- normal わ
I think so as well.

OK thanx for the help !!...I have another little question, How do you say " to feel " in japanese ... I mean like to feel lonely, to feel sad... ??

I'm going to say that it's 感じる (kanjiru).

How do you say " to feel " in japanese ... I mean like to feel lonely, to feel sad... ??

Glenn's quite right for the general case. But for 'feel lonely' 'feel sad' and quite a few other feelings you wouldn't usually use 感じる but just the adjective for 'lonely' 'sad' etc.

寂しい(P); 淋しい 【さびしい(P); さみしい】 (adj) lonely; lonesome; solitary; desolate

悲しい(P); 哀しい(oK) 【かなしい】 (adj) sad; sorrowful

And to express 'felt XXX,' lonely for instance, you can say 寂しい思いをする,
or 'the feeling of loneliness' would be 寂しい気持ち....
