Saudade - 365words

- 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: / mskoopmans

I feel saudade each time I remember of my grandpa. When I remember his way of smiling, the jokes he used to play with me in my childhood and how much sincere was his love for family. When I feel "saudade" for him is like I could experience not only that memory again, but as if I could live that moment once more, with richness of details. It's so wonderful to feel it that sometimes I caught me up doing nothing but abducted into those memories.
What a beautiful response, I think I better understand what it means. I recognise what you describe (and immediately get a warm glow inside) even though it may be for moments gone.
Cool that you had the "sacada". "Sacada" is another term we largely use here in Brazil, and it's something similar to "insight", if I'm not wrong. Regards from Brasil.
Nostalgy and nostalgia are not only synonimous, but are usefull to express the same kind of feeling. For instance, I listen to old skool rock with a little bit of nostalgia, but it isn't neither close to a feeling for my dead grandpa or grandma, or the feelings sometimes I have for the early years of my sons.
It was cool but it's just sad that you used Brazilian Pronunciation
why sad? Hey, I`m not Brazilian, nor Portuguese, I love both cultures. Love samba, love fado. The makers of this video probably had to choose between pronouncing the word like a Brazilian or like a Portuguese and just ended up picking one of the two.
Portugal's flag and Brazil's pronunciation? WTF
which one else should he use asides from the only one correct? european brazilian is ugly asf
it's a sad, knowing nostalgia~stop trying to complicate it.
Thumbs up for picking up the Brazilian pronunciation.
