思 sī "to think of" + 念 niàn "to think of, miss": both mean to think of, i.e. to miss, to long for. The Korean sa-nyeom (思念) is rare; it is usually rendered as "longing, to miss". Tenderly calling to mind a distant or unreachable person or hometown (思念家乡 to miss home). A synonym compound. 思 means "to think" (思考, 思想); 念 means "to think of, miss" (怀念, 想念). It is nearly the same as 想念.
