I don't think we have a duplication here. As a portuguese speaker, I was afraid of a literal translation and misuse of the verb feel in the sentence. _Is this usage of "felt" properly?_Overall, by the topic you've provided, it seems fine to use though.– basquiatraphaeuCommented Oct 20, 2020 at 14:00

Yes, the usage of "feel" in that sense is OK.– Cascabel_StandWithUkraine_Commented Oct 20, 2020 at 15:44
