Please show me example sentences with spark joy . Tell me as many daily expressions as possible.
I saw an article about Marie Kondo during my class. I don't know her exactly but I want to try to use the word "spark-joy". By the way, is "spark-joy" a noun? If so, is it countable or uncountable? Could you give me a sample sentence?

@kenny3992 Sometimes. Not too often. It is a passionate or strong expression of feeling.

@DsChubba I see. Have you ever seen a KonMari's show? If so, how did you feel about her tidy-up skill?

@kenny3992 No I haven’t. However, I did search up on Marie Kondo's use of ときめく (tokimeku). Her meaning is quite similar to the English meaning. The heart flutters with excitement, but you also feel a sense of warmth at the same time.

Which word did I find most impressive in 2019?
That would be the word “Pleasure”.
It is a very diverse word. It can mean a passionate feeling or a response of delight for another.
It was a pleasure to help you. Also, I’m sure to find KonMari’s show a pleasure to watch. 😉
