* The Japanese believe that everyone has an 'ikigai'. An 'ikigai' is more of a concept rather than a word alone (I've used the word 'ikigai' in quotation marks simply because I am not using the proper kanji form).

** 'Énouement' is not a real word, but rather a word created by John Koeing in Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Please note almost all translations were found online and most words written using non-latin script (i.e. Japanese, Chinese, etc.) were written using transliteration keyboards (i.e. pinyin/romaji to characters). I'm sorry if any proper scripts or definitions are incorrect; please feel free to correct me politely and I'll do my best to change it! I know some words are used in more than just the language provided as well.
