This anglosphere obsession with single-word concepts in other languages like they're somehow transcendant things that don't exist in the English-speaking world

This anglosphere obsession with single-word concepts in other languages like they're somehow transcendant things that don't exist in the English-speaking world (see also: Ikigai, Hygge, etc) has to stop. It's cringe.
