I think 8note means that, unless one speaks Japanese, the multi-word translations given in the article might be incorrect and we wouldn't know any better.

- jessriedel 10y agoI understand that. But we shouldn't think that's more likely to be true here than any other article translating Japanese because the phrases easily satisfy the author's definition of "untranslatable", and there's not really a reason to think that these terms are actually beyond the ability to translate given the ability to use many words.
