Kriolu Word of the Day

Saudadi

Meaning: A deep feeling of longing or missing someone, someplace, or a time in your life. While related to the Portuguese word saudade, it is widely used in Cape Verdean Kriolu and is deeply connected to the experience of migration and family separation.

Example:
N ten saudadi di nha terra.
I miss my homeland.

Our Roots Are in Cape Verde. Our Future Is Here.

Cabo Verde Fact

Although Cape Verde is made up of 10 islands, only 9 are inhabited. The smallest inhabited island is Brava, often called the “Island of Flowers” because of its mild climate and lush vegetation compared with the drier eastern islands.
