The French language famously has no single word for “home.” In Tagalog, the word “gigil” can only be defined in English as the emotion associated with seeing something so cute it makes you want to squeeze the bejeezus out of it. In Portuguese, “cafune” is a verb that means to run your fingers gently through someone’s hair. What precise or complicated thing do you say/do/feel/think often enough to want a single English word for it? For me, I’d love an English verb that means “to consider a possible course of action for longer than it would actually take to simply do it.” Not that I’m ever guilty of that or anything…
