nhậu, pronounced like "nyaow." It's a verb, noun, and adjective that refers to the act of eating with your buddies while you drink in a very specific way, with lots of special toasts and stuff.
Saudade

I'm sure there's a word for it in another language unless it's too specific
>>58062432
>Saudade
From google :
(especially with reference to songs or poetry) a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament.
>>58062428
I think in this case it would only refer to arriving on time.
>>58062468

>>58062432
Saudade is literaly:
>That feel when you miss something.
>>58062468
>>58062355
It's the same thing as saying "I miss you" in most contexts.

>Hiraeth, pronounced [hɨraJ̯θ], is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. The University of Wales, Lampeter attempts to define it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire[1] for the Wales of the past.[2]
>Sisu
The insane determination to hold on to life, to accomplish your goals and deal with any kind of shit no matter what.
Examples of situations where one would show their sisu to cope with shit:

>Buying a 24-pack of beer with you last money and slipping on the ice. Hug the beer with your dear life and let your head and body soften the fall for them

in poetry tho it os often used to describe the determination of serbs to stand against a much more powerful turkish army so I kinda made a connection between that and the finns whitstanding against the red army.
in poetry it's definetly an emotion every fighting serb feels while faced against turks. most of our poetry in tje 1800s was actually full of motivational mktives to make the people join the revolution.
