Unique Words to know (by Sareureuk )

I've always had a knack for unique words. Not only those which were in English, but I love knowing words in other languages, words which do not exist in my own language or in the English language, words which describe a whole scenery or feeling. So I've decided to share some of these words with you guys, let you show how unique and beautiful every language is.

seems like they're all asian ... i mean the words ! i've heard of a Gumiho which means a fox rain and btw , i actually have a thing for unique words as well . Thanks for sharing , i really appreciate it .clap

There's dutch words, Gaelic words, danish words, Hawaiian words, Portuguese words too. 
As for fox rain it comes from yeou which is fox and bi which is rain
Gumiho is a Korean legend of a fox with 9 tails which can take the appearance of a woman for a certain amount of time before she herself becomes a complete human.
Please do not confuse the two things

I'm glad you have enjoyed the article
