You guys are just learning French I swear

Yeah désuet and flâneur are as common in French as abandoned and loiterer are in English. I'd say only the first word describes something that there isn't another common word for.

It is, but I can't say I would use it in everyday conversation like the other two.

I still see them used regularly, it's different than those English words most people don't even know.

Some of these words might give a better understanding when put into sentences

I remember hearing eudaimonia many years ago and thought that I can't wait for it. I haven't heard it since then and the state of the world reminds me I may never again.

Are they good? What tracks do you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

I only know eudaimonia because it's super advanced tech in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, essentially inventing utopia

Languor isn't usually thought of as pleasant.
