Brawniii's definitions
The homesickness and nostalgia for the old, pre-colonised Wales; a longing to return to an identified and recognised homeland which has been lost forever. Does not refer to a homesickness for a fantasy place or a homesickness for any place outside of Wales. This misinterpretation is because many foreign languages cannot ever be fully translatable into the English language as they have links to personal and cultural connections.
"I love the world of Hogwarts so much, I feel a Hiraeth for it, I wish I could go there."
"Hogwarts isn't in Wales so that's not possible. You can use the English word homesickness, there's nothing wrong with that."
"...B-But that doesn't sound 'Exotic' enough for my aesthetic tumblr tattoo."
