Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default Word for people who think about the past...

This has been bothering me for a few days. I can't for the life of me remember what that word is that is used to describe people who are "trapped in the past." I think it sounds like "lethargic", but I just can't remember it. If I heard it, I would remember it instantly. Can anyone refresh my memory? And it isn't reminiscent. The word has a negative connotation, I think.

Nostalgic

1. a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time: a nostalgia for his college days.

2. something that elicits or displays nostalgia.

although I know nostalgica is the right one I would like to mention the word vintage, which is a light form for younger generations ..
