@Elske In België heb ik 'triestig' ook vaak gehoord. Het bestaat wel hoor. Misschien gewoon niet in Nederland?

Dan zal 'triestig' Zuid-Nederlands (dus Vlaams) zijn. Echter, het is oppassen met Vlaams. Er zijn veel regionale variaties in woordgebruik en zeker niet alles wordt in Vlaanderen (België) beschouwd als standaard Nederlands (of zelfs 'goed Vlaams').
Ik ben Nederlandse. 'Triestig' klinkt voor mij als een onnodige verlenging van 'triest', dat al 'sad' betekent. 'Triestig' betekent dan 'triest-achtig', 'sad-ish', 'kind of sad'. In Nederland zouden we dan zeggen 'nogal triest' of 'een beetje triest'.
