Kimochi - きもち - 気持ち
Hi there! Could someone tell me the meaning and use of 'kimochi'?

As far as I know it literally means 'feeling', but it's used when something feels good?
Like a shorter form of 'ii kimochi'.

Thanks in advance!

Answer

kimochi → feeling    ex. Anatano kimochi wakarimasu (I know the feeling)
kimochii → feeling good (emphasized)　ex. Sugoi kimochii (feels so good)
iikimochi → feeling good (sounds slightly more formal to me. I rarely use it.)

These are my personal opinion. Hope it is helpful.

Answer

Thank you, Orsinia!

Answer

Orsinia-san,
I agree with you! Good guess. ^^

Answer

I suppose they said "kimochi ii (気持ちいい/feeling good)", perhaps?
And it actually sounds like just saying "kimochi" only.
Or I made a silly wrong guess!
