I doubt it's something that you'd find in a translation dictionary. You'd be more likely to find it in an English thesaurus I would imagine. And I'm pretty sure it's quite old. It's not used very much at all, but I remember hearing it a few times, and reading it in older books.

I don't know... My dictionary contains it...
Here it is: http://szotar.sztaki.hu/dict_search....=1&P=0&C=1&T=1 tristful = bánatos, búbánatos, bús, szomorú == sad. AND: If Wiktionary doesn't contains it, it doesn't means, it's not an existing word... By the way, it's one of my problems with english. I don't know a word... I look after in the dictionary... and it gives me 100 english words. How could I know, which one should I use?

It's not in the list of synonyms for "sad" either:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sad#Synonyms Oddly enough, it's "triste" in French, Italian, Portuguese and Spain! http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sad#Translations

Well I don't have time to find a real dictionary/thesaurus (I have gigtanic ones of each but have to go to work soon), but a quick search on the web gave this: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tristful
It was also "triste" in middle english, so technically using "triste" would work in any of the five languages mentioned.

Don't let something like this deter you from using that dictionary, mozaik. Having a large vocabulary is nothing bad, and I find it hard to believe that a word you find in a dictionary is, or at least hasn't been, a word used in English. There's just so many words in English that nobody could ever hope to know all of them.
