Untranslatable Words of the Day: Waldeinsamkeit (German) & Istoriesmearkoudes (Greek)
One of those words in a foreign language we just don't have an English one for (but should). Today's is Waldeinsamkeit (German), aka "the feeling of being alone in the woods". (Hi Red!)Another is Istoriesmearkoudes (Greek), meaning, literally, "stories with bears". Snow White & Rose Red! Bearskin! The Cat on the Dovrefell! So many more!

You can see a whole lot more of her "untranslatable words" depicted in graphics HERE. I wish she had a lot more fairy tale words to make this a regular feature...
