One of my all-time favorites:
Sisu – Finnish, basically “guts” or intestinal fortitude.
Hyggelig certainly is translatable, Gemutlichkeit in German and Gezelig in Dutch are essentially the same notion.
Can’t forget Schlep and Lurk while we are at it!
Used in a sentence:
I’d like to Tingo BBIGMIKE’S Cars.
LOL 🙂
Just kidding BBIGMIKE
“Met” is a conjugation of the verb “Mettre” meaning “to put on” in French. Just thought you should know ToPutOnXing.
Dude….another untranslatable word that mean what ever you want it to mean!
