Q3. Are there any feelings in Japanese that cannot be translated into English?


A3. I'm not sure. But I think there are some Japanese words and sentences that are difficult to translated into English. Such as dialects and the unique words of feelings. Because every country have their only languages, so that there are not exactly words to translate one language to another language all over the world.
