In German we have the two adjectives "einsam" (lonely) and "allein" (alone), and I guess the second one goes with solitude. So the concepts are there.

- Kenji 10y agoHm, I guess that's true. I just didn't look at them the same way because to me, both feel more like they refer to loneliness.
- tremon 10y agoDutch also has "eenzaam" (lonely) en "alleen" (single, singular), but neither really confer the same meaning as "solitude". The closest expression in Dutch is probably "op zichzelf", but that still describes a fact, while solitude (feels to me like it) expresses an emotion.
