Most beautiful words in all languages!
Multilinguists of Reddit, what's a beautiful word or phrase in another language for which there is no solid English translation?
Could people tell me how to say "you are beautiful/pretty" in different languages, please?
What is the word for "beautiful" in your language and what language is that?
Hi!

here are some of my favorites~
cafuné (portuguese)- running your fingers through lovers hair
serein (french)- the fine, light rain that falls from a clear sky
lambent (latin)- glowing with soft radiance
eunoia (greek)- a pure and well balanced mind; a good spirit
fika (swedish)- a moment to slow down and appreciate life; coffee break
kefi (greek) - the spirit of joy
duende (spanish)- mysterious power of art to deeply move a person
phosphenes (latin & greek)- the colors or “stars” you see when you rub your eyes
please leave the most beautiful word you know, it’s origin, and definition :)
