You logophiles and Francophiles might like this story:
I was at my coffee shop in this sweater today and the barista asked me what it meant
After I taught him to pronounce the word I say "Ennui, French for sort of morose..."
Him: "Isn't morose French?"
Me "It is but this is like, more so, but without the anger."
?
Let me be your French teacher! I am on the ball

dabbe Merci beaucoup! 🤩 6d
BarbaraBB Good translation 😀 6d
Amiable I always thought ennui meant “a feeling of boredom.” Thanks for the lesson! 5d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Amiable it sort of is, I couldn't think in the moment, I have heard it described as a type of blues coming from listlessness and dissatisfaction. Where morose is more of an ill tempered dissatisfaction. But I am happy for a French person to correct me if I am wrong 😀 5d
