Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

1) Koi No Yokan – Japanese

The sense upon first meeting a person that the two of you are going to fall into love. This is different than “love at first sight,” since it implies that you might have a sense of imminent love, somewhere down the road, without yet feeling it.

2) Ya’aburnee – Arabic

Literally meaning “you bury me”, this is the hope that a person or loved one will outlive you as to spare yourself the pain of living life beyond that person.

3) Forelsket – Norwegian

The feeling of dizzy euphoria you feel when first falling in love. A great substitute for its clunky English counterpart - “New Relationship Energy,” or NRE.

4) Kara sevde – Turkish

Meaning “black love” this is a lovesick term for when you feel that passionate, blinding love for another person.

5) Retrouvailles – French

Retrouvailles, or “rediscovery,” refers to the happiness you feel upon reuniting with someone after you’ve been apart for a long time.

6) Mamihlapinatapei – Yagan

A wordless, yet meaningful look between two people who both desire to initiate something, but both are too scared to initiate themselves.

7) Saudade – Portugese

This word in Portuguese means a sad yearning that concerns someone from one’s past.

8) Kummerspeck – German

And lastly, for the single amongst us, there’s kummerspeck - literally translating to “grief bacon,” this word refers to the weight gain that occurs when we are under a crushing weight of loneliness, sadness or stress.
