Sometimes we are frustrated by not finding words that accurately express the situations, actions or emotions we experience. These 10 words from different languages ​​around the world are gaining popularity online because they have the ability to express what other languages ​​cannot express in one word, and often because they correspond to the main things people talk about. daily. We can expect any of these words to be added to the dictionaries of various languages ​​soon.

This word, originating in Italy, is used to refer to the small marks left on a table or other surfaces by a glass of cold water. Although this word is not very important and is quite easy to describe, it is considered an interesting concept that people often absorb in speech, but especially in online messages, to save time or to avoid overthrowing history.

This Portuguese word means the act of running your fingers through your hair. More than the action, the most interesting thing about this word is the connotation it brings. If you have ever wandered through the bush, jungle or forest, you have experienced this Japanese word. Closest translation: sunlight is filtered by tree leaves that reach the ground. This is a common scene in picturesque films, and some linguists describe this visual phenomenon as a light curtain that falls over a crown of trees underground, similar to the effect of water refracting from sunlight.

There is an important distinction to make, namely that the word refers to sunlight as seen from eye level and the shade of trees on the ground. Penny Ayena: A Spanish expression used to express a feeling of discomfort when we look at someone in an embarrassing or humiliating situation.

The definition of this word implies a complexity that makes it one of the most intriguing words in a foreign language. We can easily foresee that some online translations of this word lead us to the result of "spirit of the ladder", but in reality it is a reference to the ability to have something to say about the topic of conversation after it ends.

For example, when someone is thinking of a line for an insult that happened a while ago, or a joke about a topic that is no longer relevant in the conversation. The closest translation of this word is “nostalgia.” But linguists agree that this translation is also inappropriate to describe the feeling of constant desire, even of miss, that persists in the crowd of an individual's mind even when he is thinking about something else.

Nostalgia is also an imprecise translation because "saudad" can be felt not only for what you once had and lost, but also for what you never had. It is used with reduced frequency in Spain, as well as in other countries where Spanish is spoken. It's a universal experience that many people share when they look at photographs of small animals, when they hug small children, or when they do anything else with a certain level of gentleness.
