Useful words English lacks.

A short (and apparently defunct) Tumblr catalogs the words English doesn't have, but should. For example:

  • fernweh (noun, German): Homesickness for a place you've never been
  • sobremesa (noun, Spanish): Leisurely time after we have finished eating, but before we get up from the table
  • 積ん読: (noun, Japanese): Buying books and not reading them
  • 정 (noun, Korean): Camaraderie born out of hardship
