Word lover Mark has created a Tumblr blog to explain the untranslatable words of every language and culture.
From the Japanese phrase, “ichigo ichie”, which means to have a one-time chance encounter with someone, to the French phrase, “l’appel du vide”, which refers to the sudden urge to jump off buildings, this is a collection of humanity’s collective quirks.
Users are also invited to submit words of their own or request for a word or a phrase that hasn’t been featured yet.
Scroll down to see some of our favorites.
