Should I be an obnoxious pendant and say that this topic should have been called "I wish there were a word for..?
No I won't, that would be obnoxious. There should be a word for words there should be a word for. ![]()
The issue is not with tense, but with mood. (And, of course, "were" is not a future tense form.) Since the point is that these words don't actually exist, using the indicative mood ("was") is inappropriate - the subjunctive ("were") is required instead.

In Japanese, I don't think there's a word for lost. At least, when I lost my friend's ball, he said "It became nothing".
Not "Sam Lost My Ball!!!" or "IT WENT ON THE ROOF AND IT'S LOST FOREVER!!" It became nothing. nakunatta. just sayin' ![]() You must first create an account to post.
