27 Words In Other Languages With No English Translation

Many of us native English speakers are familiar with (and regularly use) words like "schadenfreude" (German), which don't have a direct English translation, but there are actually a ton of similar words out there. Recently, @saba posed a question on Twitter (X), asking for examples of words in other languages that "can't be perceived in English," saying "there's a beauty in a word only being understood through the soul." Here are 27 extremely gorgeous, interesting, or just plain useful responses: "Saudade" "Ya'aburne" "Varen" "Backpfeifengesicht" "Sayang" "فديتك" "тоска" "نعيما" "Estrenar" "Apapacho" "Fernweh" "Kilig" "Gunnen" "Sobremesa" "Obhimaan (অভিমান)" "Zerliebt" "Pasalubong" "Hiraeth" "Smacznego" "Pogodnie" "Koi No Yokan (恋の予感)" "Üşenmek" "Tương (醬)' "Zawiść" "Drengskapr" "Jhuta (झूठा)" And finally, "tresno"/"katresnan." Now, I have to know: If you speak a language other than English, do you have any favorite words that don't quite translate over? Let us know in the comments.
