do non-native english-speakers understand the difference between loneliness, solitude, and isolation?
>>61489390
yes. norwegian doesn't distinguish between loneliness and solitude, but we do have the word isolation (isolasjon).
the idea of solitude is usually expressed with more than one word.
>>61489642
well no shit other germanic speakers understand it
i'm talking about wu-shan from guongdong prefecture
>>61489642
We have words for all three:
Solitude - samota, loneliness - osamelosť, isolation - izolácia.
>>61489753
Wu-shan probably can't answer since the PRC cannot access 4chan
>>61489390
I know 50 words to describe different kinds of loneliness
isolated can be like a single cell of bacteria on a petri dish, it's a more rational, clinical term
lonely is someone who hungers for company
solitude is just a poetic word for isolation
>>61489753

Loneliness y solitude vienen siendo lo mismo en Español.
>>61489390
>>61489870
Solitude - samota
Loneliness - osamljenost, osama
Isolation - osamitev, izolacija
Loneliness is more of a psychological condition, the yearning for social connection
Solitude is being physically remote from other people, and doesn't carry negative connotations like the other two
Isolation is generally for longer periods than solitude, and often carries negative connotations. It's like a harsher, sometimes enforced, form of solitude.

loneliness is feeling of lack of human contact
isolation is layer of styrofoam on your house to keep you warm during winter
solitude is what's superman's house is made of
How can you confuse these things? I mean, superman probably could use isolation, if I remeber correctly his house is on the north pole, right?
Yes I understood the difference between those definitions after I read Kastaneda.
>>61491295
Poorly. Modern Hebrew is a very young language without many speakers, so it's nowhere near English when it comes to the richness of the vocabulary. You guys are pretty fortunate.
>>61489390
Loneliness means you're lonely.
Solitude means you're alone but not neccesseraly lonely.
I think isolation is long-term solitude
>>61489753
do you realise those words are actually french right?
>>61489390
Solitude and isolation are french words, so yes.
>>61489390
lolneliness = 孤独、ひとりぼっち、or something like those
isolation = 孤立、or 隔絶・隔離 if you use it in the context like "isolated facility"
solitude = dont know it off the top my head. i reserached it now and its another topic but i couldnt find a similar word 孤高, which means solitude + lofty/noble, in english
>>61489390
solitude is the french word for loneliness, so fuck you if you gave them two separate meanings.

But don't know the difference between a question mark and period.
>>61489642
Same in Italian.
Solitude and loneliness --> solitudine
Isolation --> isolamento
So, what is the difference between solitude and loneliness?
>>61493482
loneliness=feeling when you are alone and miss people
solitude=being actually alone
atleast i think
>>61493055
In English solitude simply means being alone. Loneliness in an emotional state of desiring social contact, general felt when alone.
Isolation implies a sense of control or intent behind it. It's something done to you, not simply a thing that happens. A man on an empty beach is solitary, a man in a windowless cell is isolated.
>>61493543
But "being actually alone" should be the meaning of "isolation". So we're missing something
>>61493599
>>61493603
Ok got it. Thanks.
>>61493599
the suffix "-itude" is used to form emotional states in french, so it implies loneliness.
>>61491715
>loneliness = גלמודיות
>Solitude = בדידות
>Isolation = בידוד
My Hebrew's not perfect, but those seem fine to me.
>>61489390
Loneliness is someone who is alone, and craves the company of others.
Solitude is the capital of Skyrim
Isolation is someone/thing which has been separated from everyone else.
>>61493787
In English the "-ly" has that effect, in some contexts. "Lone" just means by itself, "lonely" means by itself and doesnt like it.

isolation: being stuck on your own for a long time
loneliness: wishing there were people around
solitude: being glad there's nobody to bother you
>>61491860
yeah, but we all think similarly due to our shared grammar which means it's easy for a speaker of one germanic language to learn another germanic language's nuances
Many langauges have words for these since we all are them.
