hislerimi tam olarak anlatan kelime gurur

"Yunanlı olmaktan gurur duyuyorum. Evet, hislerimi tam olarak ifade eden/yansıtan/tarif eden kelime gurur."

Hislerimi "doğru/aynen/birebir/tam olarak/gerçekten"
anlatan/yansıtan/tarif eden kelime gurur.

Alternatively, you can also translate it such a way :
Evet, hissettiklerimi/duygularımı gurur kelimesi ile tarif edebilirim.
