Saudade is still my favorite.
- Cafuné (Brazilian Portuguese): The act of tenderly running one’s fingers through someone’s hair.
- forelsket: The euphoria you experience when you’re first falling in love.
- gezellig: cozy, communal feeling, like the warm sensation one has surrounded by good friends at a long meal, with the conversation flowing; the energy of a good party
- hiraeth: a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past.
- Hyggelig/hygge (Danish): more than coziness. Friends, warm fire.
- la douleur exquise (French): The heart-wrenching pain of wanting someone you can’t have.
