1 Saudade
A feeling or sentiment said to be typically Portuguese, which is a kind of nostalgia, yearning, and melancholy longing. Although the word is almost untranslatable, one standard dictionary defined saudade as a sweet and soft remembrance of persons and things far away or long ago. A very common term in colloquial Portuguese, it expresses a sad feeling for an absent person or loved one. Philologists debate the word's precise origins. Some suggest that it derives from the Latin solitate, while Aubrey Bell suggests that saudade derives from the Arabic word saudaui, or someone who is stricken with melancholy and a longing to be alone.
