Here’s a post that gathers up fifteen words from non-English languages that have no direct single-word English equivalent.
Examples:

Iktsuarpok (Inuit)
You know that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet? This is the word for it.

Vybafnout (Czech)
A word tailor-made for annoying older brothers—it means to jump out and say boo.
