One of the interesting things I've always thought about learning a new language is the way certain "un-translatable" words become translated. Take brands for instance, or names of stores. What would be the equivalent of Sephora in French? Well, considering it was originally founded in France and the name stems from the Greek word for "beauty", sephos, I should really be asking, what is its English translation?
As my study of the Chinese language progresses, I'm becoming more and more familiar with the Mandarin equivalents to what I always thought to be natural in the English language. Let's see if you can figure out the original meaning...
