re: Are there things which can't be said in English? ~websafe
but we can say "i enjoy seeing team X lose"-- but are there philosophies we can't understand, or express?
in theory, there are no 'foriegn' cultures here on earth, since all culture is human culture, and we should be able to understand it..
but there are ideas, that are difficult to express and understand, with whole books, let alone single words. (take Hawking's thoughts on the Big Bang!)
i don't know if his ideas (if other ideas) can be better expressed in other languages.. but.
