In this episode of Usap Tayo, we explore uniquely Filipino words that cannot be directly translated into English, in line with International Translation Day.
Key Points
- International Translation Day on 30 September is observed by the United Nations to honour translators and their role in fostering unity, dialogue, and peace among nations.
- Words like kilig, tampo, pasalubong, and diskarte have no exact equivalents in English.
- Experts explain that untranslatable words are deeply tied to cultural, historical, and social contexts that shape each language.
