Foreign words: What foreign word do you miss in the English vocabulary?

I am totally aware, Sharonna. The gif is simply what it is, a bit of humor around Joey. The question is formulated in text, and I am asking the muggers if they have any foreign word they miss in English.

Do you have any such word? Which word will it be, if so? Now that would be interesting to know...

I have no idea what you want based on this.  So, sorry.  I don't know what you mean.

I'll see what the other kids post and I will try and follow. 

Bad Sharonna.

I thought this would do you proud, actually.

Nope. 
You of all people, being the Queen of Photos and Graphics, should recognize the long-held practice of using a closely-related photo or even a completely unrelated photo to bolster one's post. Come ON, both you and I do it all tme time!

No.  You and I don't do it.  I did it for years.  Now everyone is doing it. 

I don't have to anymore.   I am now able to enjoy the fruits of my many years of labor.   gtravels inspired me.  That is how long I have been doing this, since 2008.   So, do not get it twisted here. 

I posted more pictures than anyone on Answer Bag or Answer Mug.  So, I think I can pick and choose where I post them now.    I have a 250,000 lead on you.  That is how many points I had and most of the answers had pictures.

Now what were you saying again? This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at December 19, 2016 8:05 AM MST

Vladmir Nabokov describes it best: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”

A bit hyperbolic but interesting. 

Lucia, my life is an unending curcular tape of hyperbole. 

Russians revel in hyperbole.  They're a very passionate and intense  people.

Evil  Pink.  I learned that from Shirley Mac Lane of all people (sp?)  

She wrote in one of her books about a Russian lover of hers and it really underscored the character of the Russian soul.  And then there was the WONDERFUL Barishnakov playing Sara Jessica Parker's lover in Sex and the City.   Boy did he portray a perfect example of what we are talking about.

The are emotional and deep and bleeding mentally every minute, those people.  LOL

Sapphic I LOVE this.   Great passage. 

It's a copy of what they describe/tell about the word by following the link. There are 20 words described. I'm familair with some of the words however less than a handful. I find it interesting and fascinating, language hold so much of used appropriately. Thank you, Sharonna.

It is a great word, Evil PB.  Only the Russians have words that go this deep emotionally.  They have SOUL those people of the cold winter climes. 

Slavic languages have a lot of great words that can't be translated accurately.

Don't we all had that feeling one or another time, although it's nothing to strive for..?

Quite famous for its meaning, which somehow other languages have neglected to emulate, this refers to the feeling of pleasure derived by seeing another’s misfortune. I guess “America’s Funniest Moments of Schadenfreude” just didn’t have the same ring to it.
