If you are bilingual & one language doesn’t have a word in the other language, how do you describe it then? I know in English, we have many words to describe one thing. But what if there’s no true word? I remember Senkusha talking about this in reference to Japanese.

Japanese actually has several of these words that we don't have a direct translation in English.
"Gambatte" translates into "good luck", or more accurately, "Do you best." "Itadakimasu" means "Thanks for the food".
