Different cultures have unique ways of expressing emotions through language. For instance, in some languages, there are specific words for feelings that don’t have direct translations in other languages. The Japanese word “wabi-sabi” captures a sense of finding beauty in imperfection, while the Portuguese “saudade” describes a deep longing or nostalgia. These culturally specific words reflect how languages can provide insight into how different cultures experience and articulate emotions.
