Another German word which I find quite intriguing and evocative is “Fernweh” - I cannot find it in other languages I know…

You Brits actually have one of the most idiosyncratic words to name a very specific emotion: demob happy (unsure I'm spelling it right). I don't know if there's anything like it in German or (American) English.

That is an excellent example! I had no idea it was a Britishism 😄
