The word must be something non-political that is in everyday use or in common speech.

For example, in my mother language there’s the word muak, which describes the feeling you get after eating the same dish repeatedly, leading to you being sick of it and not wanting to eat that dish anymore.

Tired (ie. tired of eating the same x dish/food) may be the closest word/phrase in the English language that captures the meaning, but not exactly.

    Døgn: A word in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian meaning a day and a night. It baffles me that English hasn’t adopted this, or made up a word for it.

    Dugnad: A Norwegian word meaning unpaid voluntary work done for the community or an individual, eg. a neighborhood coming together to help an elderly person paint their house.
