Hyppytyynytyydytys is a strange Finnish word that doesn’t have a direct translation in English.

It means “Bouncy Cushion Satisfaction”. You know the feeling when you settle down on a cushion and just have that “aaaah” relaxing moment.

At STAR we love language and how we communicate worldwide.

What we found interesting about this word is …

1. It has no English translation.

2. It has no Vowels

3. It has 18 letters in the world, but ony uses 7 actual letters. Plenty of repeat letters.

4. And it looks funny.

What words do you know that have no English translation?
