Hi Fahad,

“de hen” doesn’t make any sense. In fact, “de” is from “jué de” which means “to feel/ think”. And “hen” means “very”

“Gǎn jué” does mean feeling, “gǎn” alone has no meaning.

In English, one word has a specific meaning, but things are not same as in Chinese, lots of words are composed of
more than 1 characters and separately, each character has no any meaning
