Vorfreude
- Vor = Before / Previous-
- Freude = Joy
Definition: The word “Vorfreude” describes the joy one feels in anticipation of something joyful to happen. Unlike anticipation, the word “Vorfreude” only associates to positive upcoming experiences.
An example of the feeling of “Vorfreude” would be a child being happy short before ones birthday/Christmas in anticipation of knowing it would get pleasant gifts.

Hoe.
From the book of southern urban slang.
I use it a lot and in more ways than one. A hoe to me can be a person or an object. I Hardly base it off someones sexual history but it can stand for that too. If i’m looking for an object or something, I’ll be like “Man where that hoe at?” That word has meant everything to me since 2012 🤣 Its much more fun to use than saying “it/thing/thang”

Aanchal (Hindi), and Chaan (Marathi).
My Marathi is supposed to be fluent as my parents are Maharashtrians and Hindi is second language as most people I grew up with only know Hindi and their own native language. So, my Hindi is fluent, Marathi isn't.

Well, I speak both Tamil and Telugu at home. My mom is Telugu and my dad’s Tamil. I mostly speak Tamil tho lmao.

my favorite word in Tamil is Thoduvaanam which translates to “horizon”. A literal translation would mean to “touch the sky”. It beautifully describes the feeling you experience when you look at the horizon from the beach.

in Telugu, my favorite word is: Deenemma Jeevitham. It literally means: life sucks.

Favorite words, I don't have a lot of favorite anything, they change all the time. Today's favorite is not the same as tomorrow, this goes for anything, music, movies, etc...

So as I'll give two favorites for today.

Baboso - Slimy, Can use it to describe a man drooling over a beautiful woman.

Creep - Kind of goes along with the above.
