There probably hasn&#x27;t been a pressing specific need in English for those specific words; English has definitely borrowed a number of Japanese words, some of which are very common: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_English_words_of_Japanese_origin" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;List_of_English_words_of_Japan...</a><p>For example, something like 木枯らし (kogarashi, the first wind of winter) is extremely specific and must have been important at some point in Japanese culture, but there isn&#x27;t any real need for it in English any more than there is for &quot;zephyr&quot; (a gentle wind from the West).<p>Some of these do have English equivalents, like しょうがない, which is really two words and a particle. Most people I know who speak English would just say &quot;oh well&quot; in a resigned tone or, more casually, &quot;shit happens.&quot;
