Every language has untranslatable words like Portuguese has saudade and Russian has Pыдpыпвoжaгзвeшвгзcжpчeшяшeвжгaeшфшпcocpщвлджoaшe. Do you know such untranslatable words in ur cunt or from other cunts?

probably kombinować/załatwiać

it means "to get things done in a shady, half-legal way, circumventing the law/rules but not straight out breaking them" and it's generally seen as a positive thing, a sign of smartness and ingenuity

also while both words are similar, there is little difference in meaning, generally "kombinować" is shifted more towards illegal (or at least morally doubtful) activity while "załatwiać" - legal and clean one. Though it also depends on the context.

i used a long description, not a one-word translation

So? It's still a direct translation.

every word in untranslatable if your pedantic enough. failure of metalanguage or whatever object oriented ontology bullshit is being pumped out by philosophy now

Every word is translatable because words are abstraction of concepts. If you can't understand a concept it just means you're dumb.

Although I believe OP meant a direct translation like a synonym

Spanish has that word too.

though sympathetic ironically is an example of the opposite. it's untranslatable in italian.
