What words in your language doesn’t have an English Equivalent?
The title says it all?

There are some words that exist in one language that don’t exist in English. For me the word “tài” (not Chinese by the way) is grandma on your mother’s side. Whilst “pô” is for your dad’s side. I probably butchered the vowels but screw it.

What about yours? (If you speak a second language)

Unrelated but "bite" mean "d*ck" in French.

Im from Estonia so we got...

"Roomlane"
The closest equivalanet is Roman. But in my language it has double meaning of Reptiles.

Oh yeah, we also have had a gender neutral pronoun for thousands of years. Its "ta" or "tema"
It applies to both he or she. But people be acting like gender neutral pronouns are some crazy, new thing. I guess if you only know 1 language...

This is called, 'Wanderlust'.
Wanderlust is something different, its when you have the urge out of the blue to march to middleearth on foot and back. Fernweh, means you wanna travel somewhere far, and stay there for a while. In some regions "wanerlust" more like "wandern" is a daily religous habit.

there are many more (especially sayings and verbs)

but the most know dutch word without translation is
gezellig
(though the german gemutlich comes close.. we also have the word gemoedelijkheid that matches that one.. gezellig is just a tad different meaning..)
