👉 In the context of linguistics, a "kankering" is a word or phrase that describes something in a way that is not entirely accurate but is often used to convey a certain meaning or emotion. It's like saying "I'm feeling sad, but I don't know why," but it sounds like you're just being sad. For example: - "She was upset because she couldn't find her purse." - "The flowers were so beautiful that they made me feel happy." In
