Have you ever found yourself in moments where you have no word for? Situations that left you feeling somewhat odd because you can’t quite put a name to it in English.
Such a shame that the English language, in all its ABCs and 123s, can’t quite capture perfectly the essence of certain meanings. Solving that are untranslatable foreign words that kick-ass, terms that perfectly describe what the English language cannot.
New-Zealand based designer Anjana Iyer has illustrated graphics to visually explain words from other languages that literally have no direct equivalent in the English language.
Dive into her series “Found in Translation” depicting a feast of beautifully composed graphics and have a go at expanding your international vocabulary as well, veel glück!
