| Nov 17, 2023 at 18:32 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Both your first two sentences use got in a "slangy" informal way, and the first one isn't particularly idiomatic anyway, because we'd normally expect it to be followed by an explicitly adverbial term. Same as we say He got homesick after a few days, not He got homesickness... | |

| Nov 17, 2023 at 16:00 | comment | added | Stuart F | Have you tried some dictionaries? Merriam-Webster has under nostalgia "A wave of nostalgia swept over me when I saw my childhood home." "He was filled with nostalgia for his college days". For nostalgic, Collins has "Many people were nostalgic for the good old days" | |
