Hi Benny lao shi,

What is the different between ji4 mo4 and gu1 du2 for the context of lonely here?

If i were to say “i feel lonely” is it wo3 gan3 jue3 ji4 mo4 or should I use gu1 du2 in this case?

Gū dú is more like “alone”. no friends no family, therefore you feel “gū dú”. But jì mò is more like a feeling. You still feel loneliness even if you have friends and family around you
