Hello, Nǐ hǎo, Hola, Marhaba, Bonjour, Konnichiwa
Welcome to Eunoia: the searchable directory of words that don't translate. Eunoia itself is one of those untranslatable words, which essentially means a well-mind or beautiful thinking.
Eunoia allows you to search for untranslatable words by language, tag, or the word itself. There are over 700 words in the database, across 80+ languages and 60+ tags. Below you can see the representation of certain languages and tags:
More about Eunoia:
Eunoia was originally built as part of a 24 hour startup challenge by
Steph. It came fifth in that particular challenge and was the #2 product of the day
on Product Hunt. She's always been fascinated with languages and their untranslatable words, but specifically how when you look at them on an aggregate level, it's almost like a looking glass into that culture.
