Calling all language-lovers: Work these bad boys into your vocabulary, and we'll revolutionize American English yet! My mom forwarded me this list of 20 Untranslatable Non-English words, completele with noble attempts to explain their meanings in plain English.
Ahhh, language. I'm actually quite familiar with #14, dépaysment, or the feeling of being out of one's homeland, and wrote a blog post about it some months ago.
I'm considering a broadside letterpress print featuring these 20 words. What do you think, Via? I do need to work with integrating images and type. This could look so cool.
Hope you like this one, Steph! ;-)
