What Makes Us Human: Unique Emotions in Japanese Language

0 out of 5

£7.00

Are we limited by our own languages? – Perhaps! Every language has untranslatable words, claiming something very important to its community, giving it a distinct name. The Japanese language has a number of unique words explaining special states of mind or emotions which have no equivalent in English. Influenced by authentic history and religious philosophies, these words created a new world of emotions often-times unregistered by English-speakers. In the end, if we have no name for it, we can’t record and recognize the slightest tone of the emotion we experience.

This talk will bring you a small selection of words expressing human feelings in a very Japanese way. Get ready to connect to an intimate part of your own feelings. Words like yūgen, natsukashii, omotenashi, giri, akogare or wabi-sabi have subtle shades of meaning. We invite you to see what makes us human and to experience delicate states of mind.
