Untranslatable Words

Hello, peeps!!

It's been ages since last time I posted lol Sorry, I still suck at this and some things happened, like getting a new job, moving to a new place and some more... But well, here I am, out of the blue, with this new not-so-impulsive post! I hope you don't mind :D

As maybe some of you noticed before, I had a weekly series of "editorial" posts for the Cross Culture Community, I used to post every week a little kind of educational article about words from different languages that have no literal translation or simply don't exist in other languages. Thanks to @selfhelp4trolls (aka @whatamidoing) I was able to once again give free rein to my compiling fixation and to reach (and try to please) more people and languages' fans with it. Thank you once again for the opportunity kind sir @selfhelp4trolls 💙

As I told you on the first post from this series, the reason I started this series was because it's always been interesting to me how language, perception and culture are interconnected, and I just wanted to share my love for that beautiful triagle of interaction.

So here I decided to share with you―in one single post―all of those words I dived into :D

I'm very fond of this series and even proud because of how much it helped me improve my writing and researching skills, as well as making me be consistent and responsible for quite a long while. Sorry that it ended abruptly and in number 38(? lol. Though, if I ever get to resume writing this series, I will for sure update this collection.

Thank you very much to all the people who got to read some of these and even followed the series. I hope that I got to please y'all language fans or at least make you curious about languages and how they, perception and culture are related! And if you hadn't read any of these, please serve yourself! :D

And of course, feel free to tell me your thoughts on this series! Any special word that calls you out or you feel very related to? ;)

Thank you very much for passing by! :)
