Discovering Untranslatable Words
In this episode, the hosts engage in an untranslatable word challenge where they compete to guess the meaning of foreign words that have no direct translation in English. They explore the concept of untranslatable words and discuss various examples from different languages, such as Tagalog, Scottish, Korean, and more. The hosts dive into the definitions of words like 'gigil' (the overwhelming feeling to squeeze or pinch something cute), 'tartal' (the moment of hesitation when introducing someone because you've forgotten their name), and 'nunchi' (the subtle art of listening and engaging with another person's mood). Throughout the episode, they showcase the richness and diversity of language and highlight how different cultures capture nuanced feelings with unique words.
