Sometimes other languages have better words to describe what you feel or want to say. I wrote up 10 of my favorites.
First up: Fingerspitzengefühl, German for “fingertip feeling.” In cell biology, it’s glancing at spiky, enlarged cells and knowing they’ve lost their undifferentiated state.
Then there’s gemas, Indonesian for the urge to squeeze something unbearably cute, like a baby.
What word should I know about? Let me know in comments.
Agreed! One lady bug wandering around is cute. A hundred Pachyrhynchus Loheri bugs swarming in a frenzy is trippy, creepy, and what nightmares are made of.
As a kid, I doodled little patterns in my notebooks and let my mind wander. Now I vibe code and create interactive little visual web apps. I call it “vibe doodling”.
It's Labor Day here in the US which is marked as a day of rest. Take a break and vibe doodle. It's good for you.
