This is a bit off topic, but are there any English words and phrases that have no direct translation or can't be translated into any language?,(reply>), I find our phrasal verbs extremely hard to translate directly. Trying to translate directly gets me seriously weird looks most of the time.,(reply>), I find the word "lore" particularly hard to translate into Portuguese. I guess it technically translates into "conhecimento", which means "knowledge", but as you may know, knowledge can mean something <i>very</i> different from lore. If someone asked me what's lore in Portuguese I'd just explain it rather than try to translate it into a single word,(reply>), Probably yes.
