¿Cómo quieres que me sienta?
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Se trata de un diálogo y la hija de un hombre que está muriendo le pregunta que cómo se siente hoy?
El le responde ¿cómo quieres que me sienta?, evidentemente en tono sárcastico.
Pensé en "how do you want me to feel today", pero no me suena para nada. Sé que puede haber varias opciones así que las sugerencias son bienvenidas.

: This is indeed how it would be naturally said in English. "Want" would not typically be used.

How do you think I feel?
this is probably no better than "How do you expect me to feel?", but is a good, colloquial alternative, probably a little more angry/hostile... depends on the tone of the text. When spoken, the emphasis is on the word "think".

How would you LIKE me to feel/How do you SUGGEST if feel?
This would be said by someone who is overwhelmed by the situation, and the words in caps are stressed.
