Hey Tiago -- You did well on this, just a few corrections. I especially like the quote at the end! -Ryan

"I miss" is not "saudade".
During most part of my life I believed that the word "SAUDADE" would be the most difficult word to translate into any language. But that is not true, there are others more difficult. Anyways,''SAUDADE" is still in the roll of among these special words.
In english people say "I miss you", and this is the closest meaning, but I think the difference is in the fact that "saudade" don't be isn't a verb. I feel "saudade", it is abstract. (The noun miss is used for error, by mistake. In that case is even more far of saudade. ).
I think that is the magic of the languages, each of them has your their singularity. If I could create a new language, I certainly would invent a only unique word to describe the pleasure of crossing the bridge that separates people, called idiom (not sure what you mean here?).
When the saudade doesn't fitin the heart, it overflows through eyes.
