TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of happiness and contentment span a spectrum of formality and tone. In everyday conversation, one might simply say they are "happy," "content," or even use the term "pleased" to express satisfaction. When the feeling is particularly strong, phrases like "I am genuinely happy" and "I am overjoyed" convey the depth of joy. In informal settings, a more relaxed approach may be taken with expressions like "on cloud nine" or "over the moon," indicating extreme happiness. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I am pleased to inform you" or "I am delighted to announce," emphasizing the importance of the news. Politeness tempers the happiness in expressions such as "I'm really happy for you" or "That's wonderful news," demonstrating a genuine celebration of someone else's success. A touch of wit adds a layer of playfulness to the joy, as seen in expressions like "doing the happy dance" or "grinning from ear to ear." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their contentment with statements like "I'm quite content" or "I find myself in high spirits," maintaining an air of sophistication. For royalty, joy is conveyed with grace and dignity, as in "It brings me great joy" or "I am genuinely pleased," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

How to say happy in various registers of English

It was New Year’s Eve. 

A few friends had got together to celebrate at a cute little house. They were talking about their previous year, laughing about what had gone right and what had gone wrong. 

There was music playing from a stereo in the corner. The friends were almost yelling at each other because the music was so loud. 

“Jack, ol’ Jacky boy, get me another drink, will you?” a man said to his friend.

“Uggh, ok, but you’re getting the next one,” Jack replied. 

Jack drunkenly walked into the kitchen and switched on the light. It was a long, white light, very bright. The large refrigerator was in front of him. He opened it and saw many bottles of wine, orange juice, coca cola and water. He grabbed two bottles of wine from inside the door.  

But before he closed the fridge, he saw on the top shelf something white, red, and creamy.  

“Hey! Susan!” Jack yelled. “This cake looks absolutely delicious! Can I eat some?”

Susan came in from the living room. “Get your filthy hands away from it, Jack. It’s only 8pm. We’ll eat it after the countdown. Just wait.” 

She walked over to Jack, grabbed him by the arm and walked him back into the living room. Jack was happily holding the two bottles of wine under his arms. 

Now that the humans had gone, the foods in the fridge continued their celebration. 

“Psst, Pavlova,” a bottle of orange juice whispered. “He’s gone. Keep going.” 

Pavlova opened her eyes and continued singing an amazing opera song. She sung Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi. 

All the foods and drinks in the fridge were in love with Pavlova’s voice. After she had finished, they clapped and cheered. 

“Bravo! Bravo!” a cheese said. “Sing another one!”
