"I am happy" and "I am glad" mean the same thing (to feel or show pleasure or that you are content).
"Delight" is a little different. It means to get pleasure from something.
"I delight in spending time with my family."
Does that make sense?

Oh yeah! I'm sorry, I forgot about that use 🙀
That means the same as I'm happy and I'm glad. 😉

I had to translate that to English. I thought it would be a long message because of all the characters, but it was so short! Haha

I'm happy and I'm glad are the same.
If you want to use "I delight," you have to add something to it. For example, "I delight in my children," or "I delight in eating good food."
- English (US)
"Do I delight you?" is another example of where delight can be used. Not used much these days, though.
"I delight you." is grammatically correct, but comes off as being very old-fashioned and a bit arrogant.
