Description

Today’s word is saudade. It’s a Portugese word that’s a bit difficult to describe. One definition is a melancholic, intimate feeling or mood of incompleteness - due to the absence of someone or something, whether it’s a person, place or experience. A feeling caused by longing for something missing, something absent. One English verb that probably comes close to saudade, is “to pine”. Saudade is similar but not equal to nostalgia - that word also exists in Portugese. Thanks to Monique for suggesting this word: http://www.twitter.com/mskoopmans
