This word ending adds a 'feeling' or 'vibe' to a word. It helps you talk about how something feels. It is like saying 'a sense of' something.
This is different from other words. "っぽい" means "-ish." It describes something like "childish." "風" means "-style." It shows something that looks like another thing. "系" means "-type." It puts things into groups. But "〜感" talks about a feeling or a vibe. It does not describe a quality or a group.
Don't use this when you are writing for work. For example, don't say "ヤバ感" (yaba-kan) in a business email.
