Sometimes, there just isn't a word in the English language that adequately describes the kind of feelings and actions that are brought on by love.
But that doesn't mean those words don't exist.
Below are 10 words— along with illustrations — that exist in other languages (but not in English) that accurately describe different aspects of love.
From Norwegian to Arabic, keep scrolling to see how other cultures explain love and the feelings that come along with it.
Forelsket
There's no high quite like the feeling of falling in love, which is what the Norwegian word forelsket refers to.
Mamihlapinatapei
Mamihlapinatapei comes from the Yagán language, an indigenous language spoken in Tierra Del Fuego, an archipelago off the southern tip of South America.
It refers to that look that passes between two people who have feelings for one another, but who are both too timid to act on them.
Iktsuarpok
The Inuit, an indigenous culture that resides partly in Greenland, use the word iktsuarpok to describe that antsy feeling you get in anticipation of having a loved one come over.
