Nostalgia; Saudade. Tenho saudades de retornar (νοστεῖν) para um lugar que nem deixei ainda.
"The Greek
word for "return" is nostos. Algos means "suffering." So
nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.
To express that fundamental notion most Europeans can utilize a word derived
from the Greek (nostalgia, nostalgie) as well as other words
with roots in their national languages: añoranza, say the Spaniards;
saudade, say the Portuguese." Ignorance, Milan Kundera.
