Emotions … They saturate us, make us feel alive, happy, sad and scared, sometimes overwhelm us, others despair, and above all It is very difficult for us to express them!
In fact, we are more than sure that on some occasion when your partner or someone else has asked you what you feel at a very specific moment, your feelings were so many and so varied, it was impossible for you to define them with a single word.
This is what John Koenigs, a designer and editor who has been trying to define all those sensations that our dictionaries do not collect.that seems strange to you, and even little scientific, but for that, we must understand what language is like.
Our languages are living and changing legacies that evolve with our own societies .In fact, every year new terms are incorporated into our Royal language academy to be a faithful reflection of our way of life, thoughts and of course, emotions.
So, and taking into account that these words "They are invented terms" by Koenings himself, we invite you to reflect on them and to tell us if you feel identified.
Do you feel like it? We are sure that yes.
