>>7495303>doesn’t that just mean “sadness” or “depression” in Russian?may be much easier to use the term in its native tongue in contrast to english, based on the explanation given: тocкa
“No single word in English renders all the shades of "toska." At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” simple things like this capture my interest in other languages.
