How can I use ‘令人’ when speaking Mandarin?
Please can you give me a few example sentences that show how to use 令人 in a natural way? :)

In general, it can be used in two ways.
First it can work as predicate in a sentence, which means "make people…". We can see that ‘令=make’ and ‘人=people’ here.
for example:令人高兴=make people delighted; 令人愤怒=make people angry;
So you can see that this kind of expression gives an objective attitude of most people (or a group of people)
This product makes people satisfied. 这件产品令人满意。
In this way, every sentence that can be expressed as “make people …” or aims to show people's attitude can be interpreted into this phrase as 令人…. Everyone is curious about its function.->它的功能令人好奇。
It can also act as a component in a type of adjective. Similarly, it also has a connotation of "making people feel…".
令人满意的=satisfying;令人兴奋的=exciting;令人震惊的=astounding;and so on.
This pleasant news soon got spread. 这个令人高兴的消息很快传开。
She has obviously not recovered from the terrifying accident.她显然还没有从那场令人恐惧的意外中恢复过来。
hope this helps

"令人”:just like let people feel something ,使某人感觉怎么样。
something good or something bad.常使用在人情绪波动时,eg:你令我感到快乐。
你做这件事令我感到不开心。

1.最近发生了一件令我伤心的事
2.真令人伤心
However, I don't think "令”is used very often in our daily life now,It is more usually used in written expressions or on TV shows.
