Polyglot struggles: Knowing there's a word for a specific concept you're trying to express, but your mind is drawing a total blank because you have no idea which linguistic references to try associate to, as you have no idea which of the languages that particular word even is in.pic.twitter.com/aYO4F38pZf

Don't forget its cousins: - When there's a term in a language you speak that's not translatable to the language you're using and you can't explain it. - When your mind comes up with the word you're meaning to say in 4 languages but not the language you need it to.
Why is there no "fika" in english?!?! Or "mysig"?!
Also, do you have any idea how many times I've said "I'll hold my thumbs for you!" to people, forgetting that in english it's "I'll keep my fingers crossed"... 
(And vice versa in Swedish!)

My language loving brain really wants to know what those mean
I speak 5 languages (all 5 have been of frequent use at some point) so my head is a mess. Some expressions I've literally translated out of need 
"I'm always missing one to get to a hundred" is one of those. -
Here you go! https://mahabis.com/blogs/journal/41788676-10-untranslatable-words-for-relaxing-around-the-world … And yep, I hear you. In an interview last week, I literally said "Whenever I find that I've been staring myself blind at a problem... uhh... you know what I mean..." lol
