I've never heard this word used in the singular (in European Portuguese), only as the plural form "Saudades". The meaning remains more or less correct, an untranslatable melancholic longing akin to homesickness, but I always took it to mean that the were many "memories" being considered, not just one.Richard Frost wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10 2021 8:49amTUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2021 - https://www.dictionary.com/e/word-of-the-day/
