Definition #68658

 

definition

x1 feels hope/is hopeful (emotion) about x2 (abstraction)

notes

There may be a sense of possibility in actuality, and perhaps some expectation or waiting, but the primary characteristic is really just the complex emotions associated with the possibility of a possibility itself. The actual probability of x2 happening/being true is of no importance to this word; in fact, even a subjective judgment of what the probability is does not matter, so long as it is nonzero; only the feelings matter. See also: .a'o, .uenai, sorpa'a, kanpe.
