This is a simple contest for all communinities on HIVE. THIS CONTEST IS OPEN FOR ALL LANGUAGES. I'm translating a few using google translate, please forgive inaccuracies.

In the comments:

Share a word from your language (or any language you know) that CANNOT be translated to english.

আপনার ভাষার (বা যে কোনও ভাষা আপনি জানেন) এর একটি শব্দ ভাগ করুন যা ইংরেজিতে অনুবাদ করা যায় না।

Compartilhe uma palavra do seu idioma (ou de qualquer idioma que você conheça) que NÃO PODE ser traduzida para o inglês.

Comparta una palabra de su idioma (o de cualquier idioma que conozca) que NO SE PUEDA traducir al inglés.

Pin ọrọ kan lati ede rẹ (tabi eyikeyi ede ti o mọ) ti KO LE ṣe itumọ si ede Gẹẹsi.

Teilen Sie ein Wort aus Ihrer Sprache (oder einer anderen Sprache, die Sie kennen), die NICHT ins Englische übersetzt werden kann.

For eg:
From Hindi
jhootha - something that has been touched by someone's mouth hence making it theirs. Indians tend to avoid food eaten by others except very near and dear so a person will generally not have jhootha food.

Prizes:

1st Prize - 5 hive and 5 POB

Rest all outstanding entries will get HBI from me.**


You can comment multiple times till post payout.

Sort:  

எத்தனையாவது In Tamil that cannot be literally translated. It means 'how many times and in a sentence - How many times did I tell you not to do it. There is no 'one-word substitute for this word.

Lol I was about to tell this. :)

അഡിപോളി In Malayalam, it means let's rock, or maybe cool or crazy, yeah but this word has no translation at all in English or even any other Indian language.

Ok, I will talk about brazilian words:

Ziquizira = a messy and weird situation, or state, sometimes there is a supernatural meaning too.
Xará = people with the same name, but also a word that intend to create a bond(usually superficial) with another people.

There is other words but I will let them to other people to say.

जुगाड़(Jugaad) - Its generally a workaround to solve things which are needed to be solved but cannot be done the conventional ways due to lack of resources or the knowledge about it.
Jugaad usually comes in handy when you are short of money or time but you need to have that thing anyhow . I believe no one word substitution to it in other languages.

"skedonk" - An Afrikaans word that loosely translates as an "old, broken down vehicle". One that still goes, most surprisingly, despite all it's flaws and is obviously severely lacking in a lot of areas.
