Spanish term or phrase: Sentido
'Es un niño muy sentido'.

Es una frase de un servicio de interpretacion en un colegio que he realizado recientemente. Seria correcto decir 'he feels everything very deeply?/He gets upset very quickly?.
Espero vuestra ayuda, yo evidentemente di un rodeo enorme para decirlo.
Gracias.
