Thread: Interesting Word/Concepts from Languages other than English

Interesting, just read that the Chinese Hanzi for "crisis" contains two symbols, one means, "danger" and the other means, "opportunity".

It's fascinating how other languages, in this case Chinese, can so readily capture some profound concept that takes several words or sentences to explain in English. To recognize that when a crisis occurs, also occur's "opportunity" - how true.

We have many members here whose first or only language is not English, what other word/concepts can other members offer that don't have an English word equivalent?
