The worst thing

I ran out of my favourite tea a little while ago. THE HORROR. Why is it always so sudden? But on the upside inspiration for a new Esperanto word accosted me:

la senteosentaĉo

Which means:

the terrible feeling of being without tea

Sento is a feeling or sentiment.

One can make a word have a sense of awfulness or contempt by inserting the suffix -aĉ.

sentaĉo
awful/terrible feeling

The word teo means “tea”, and the word sen means “without”. Often when you combine it with a word, it adds something like the English “-less” suffix.

helpa
helpful

senhelpa
helpless, without help

Therefore senteo is “tea-less, without tea”

Pulling it all together... senteo + sentaĉo and we have an awful feeling characterised by being without tea!
