Yoin is felt by everyone at some point in their lives. If you have ever had an excellent night out on the town, and then the next day had flashbacks to what happened, that's yoin. If you've ever met someone and they've caused massive ripples in your life that you would be different without, that's yoin too. My favorite part of this word is that it feels like a reverberation in the mouth. The /j/ starts out in the front, but then the /o/ pulls it back, and then the /i/ and /n/ pull it back forward for the reverberation. (Within the slashes is the International Phonetic Alphabet, sorry if you can't read it.)
