11 Untranslatable Words From Other Cultures — Writers on Writing The idea that words cannot always say everything has been written about extensively — as Friedrich Nietzsche said, Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon the absolute truth. No doubt the best book we’ve read that covers the subject is ‘Through The Language Glass’ by Guy Deutscher, which goes a long way to explaining and understanding these loopholes — the gaps which mean there are leftover words without translations, and concepts that cannot be properly explained across cultures. Somehow narrowing it down to just a handful, we’ve illustrated 11 of these wonderful, untranslatable, if slightly elusive, words. 1 | German: Waldeinsamkeit A feeling of solitude, being alone in the woods and a connectedness to nature. 2 | Italian: Culaccino The mark left on a table by a cold glass. 3 | Inuit: Iktsuarpok 4 | Japanese: Komorebi 5 | Russian: Pochemuchka Someone who asks a lot of questions. 6 | Spanish: Sobremesa 7 | Indonesian: Jayus
