Afrikaans, the beautiful language
It's often been said that Afrikaans is a very idiomatic language. Now I don't know WTF that means, but it's got some wonderful words that can't easily be translated.
For example:
Bielie
Buksie
Rondtomtalie
Gatvol
Bollemakiesie
Vloermoer
Katspoegie
Any more examples you can think of would be fun.
