1. untranslatable

   Untranslatable refers to something, typically a word, phrase, concept or cultural element, that cannot be expressed or conveyed accurately in another language. This might be because there is no equivalent word, phrase or context in the target language, or because the meaning is so specific to the original language or culture that it loses its nuance or emotional impact when translated.
