Untranslatable words from other languages

Fascinating fungi.

Untranslatable words from other languages

A lot of words translate from one language to the other but some phrase do not.
I can only imagine a translator trying to translate some of our slang to another language.
Much of it would not make sense at all.
This infographic shows 11 words that do not translate and are actually fun words.
These words don’t translate because they we do not have words for them in the English language. They can be described in English but not defined by a single word.
Have you heard of the words before?

What other words can you think of that do not translate well?
