Geborgenheit is a German word with a huge meaning
but you cannot find a proper translation for, in any langage of the world
...which really would include the whole meaning of it

of that one word

for example, I got that...

copy:
Geborgenheit {f} safety; security; shelter

or:

safety 52Geborgenheit {f}
concealment 47Geborgenheit {f}
protection 38Geborgenheit {f}
security 31Geborgenheit {f}
comfort [easiness, reassurance] Geborgenheit {f}
psych. emotional security Geborgenheit {f}
feeling of security Geborgenheit {f}
freedom from danger


but that's still not enough laugh

so now, I'm opening a sack, throw in all of these beautiful words...

throw in more who match them yay

let me start for example...

Geborgenheit is a feeling of having arrived "home"
where you can rest your soul and thoughts...

Well, the one that springs to mind here is, 'Yoke!'

Originally a yoke attatched the animal such an ox or a horse to a plough or a cart but now it sort of means any sort of useful gadget:

The yoke for changing the wheel could be the wheelbrace or the jack!

The yoke for making the dinner could be a pot or a frying pan.

The yoke for cleaning the house is the vaccuum cleaner. It's a handy word when you don't really have a clue what you're talking about!

Maradadi is a Swahili word that also has many meanings, non of which can truly be translated, in its basic form it means beautiful, ornate and fanciful, but it can describe an emotional state of total peace and harmony.
I love these types of wordslaugh thumbs up
