| うれ*い |
melancholy- sorrowful - but more subtle than the OTHER うれい （憂い）。 Regular urei is like a homeless guy that is obviously suffering and you can see why. 愁い is like a elegant woman in a kimono going to a temple and carrying with her a subtle poetic aura of sadness. Older Japanese guys go for this.
