Forelsket is a Norwegian word that means "the happiness you feel when you're falling in love."

This is likely one of the greatest sensations in the world: butterflies, grins, and so much romantic oblivion on cloud nine. (Forelsket may or may not compare to when you only have $50 and order a large pizza but get an extra-large pizza instead. In that case, you just pay for the large pizza and get a free dessert.)

(fr) s'ennuyer de v - (formal) to miss sb

A Facebook page wrote:Si tu t'ennuies de quelqu'un, appelle-le.
If you miss someone, call them.


Since ennuyer on its own means "to bore, make bored", that sentence confused me quite a bit.
