Definition
好受 (hǎo shòu) means 'to feel better' after physical or mental discomfort — it implies relief from an unpleasant state. Unlike 自在 (zì zai), which describes a general relaxed comfort, and 安心 (ān xīn), which is relief from worry, 好受 is specifically about recovering from feeling bad.
adjective
