Many languages have words that express concepts that English has no single word for. The German 'Schadenfreude' means pleasure at someone else's misfortune. The Japanese 'Komorebi' describes sunlight filtering through leaves. The Danish 'Hygge' refers to coziness and convivial warmth. The existence of these words suggests that different cultures experience and value aspects of life differently enough to need their own vocabulary.
