"Untranslatable Languages of the World" (2016) by Ella Frances Sanders, translated by Mayumi Maeda.
In foreign languages, there are words that are unique to each country and cannot be expressed in a single word when translated into another language.
This book is the world's most unique vocabulary book, bringing together these "untranslatable words" from around the world and featuring the author's sensitive commentary and elegant illustrations. It allows readers to enjoyably explore the culture and history behind words, as well as the subtleties of communication.
Even among people who speak the same language, the nuances inherent in words vary slightly. Some emotions and situations cannot be expressed in any other way than with the words themselves. This book brings together such words from various countries. It is recommended as a gift or as inspiration. (Ammel)
