e was asking the exact same question in Portuguese he would ask something among the lines of “what’s the name for saudades of something that happened

Little plus. "Saudade" is like a strong, strong feeling about something you/we miss a lot. Imo, is almost impossible describe Saudade in english. Dont know if other languages has something comparing to Saudade.

No it's not, saudades means nostalgia, I don't know why people think it's different.

[–] dez@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Imo, Saudade is like a strong feeling but/and you can add some variants. Like you said, nostalgia, but you can add sadness and proudness on the context. You arent wrong , but on my pont of view, Saudade is a term which can takes several components.

Let's switch to Portuguese, I don't think anyone else is following this far down on the thread.

Mas essas mesmas variantes podem estar na nostalgia, tristeza e orgulho tbm estão vinculadas com nostalgia. Eu acho que o que acontece eh que a gente esta tao acostumado a usar saudade e tao nao acostumado a usar nostalgia, q soa estranho e diferente, mas eh difícil colocar a diferença em palavras pq na real não tem, eh só um sentimento de que deviam ser diferentes.

[–] dez@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Percebo isso. E sim, explicar em inglês torna-se extremamente dificil explicar o que é saudade.

Ainda assim, se olhares para a palavra Saudade e a usares num certo contexto, acho que emprega muitos mais sentimentos que nostalgia. Mas lá está, isto é a forma como vejo a palavra saudade. Provavelmente depende de pessoa para pessoa
