RE: A useful German word without an English counterpart
Oh I love learning about words that don't translate well to English! Great example. My personal favourite foreign word is 'hygge' :)

I think this is from Danish! :D In German you have "Gemütlichkeit" that would correspond to the word "hygge" in Danish. But yes, in English, even though many people come up with "cozy", this word doesn't accurately convey the same meaning that "hygge" or "Gemütlichkeit"
