What is lost in translation from one language to another??? 

.

Most linguist would say that there is no such thing as a perfect translation and that something is always lost when we move from one language to another.

Sometimes when translating, there might be the difficulty, of finding a word that expresses or means the same thing, and because there isn't one specific word that means the same as the other, instead of putting one word, many are used, to describe the words meaning.

Each language has a specific way in which the words structure a sentence, so that the sentence can make sense. Because meaning changes from one language to another, words need to be added or omitted and the structure of the sentence needs to change, so that meaning of the words can be more accurately translated. Even though the structure has changed the meaning can still be the same, they are just said in different ways. Each language has its own set of grammatical rules, which is why when one word is translated into another different language; the grammatical structure also has to be correct, in order for the sentence to make sense. So in many cases, when translating, the grammatical structure needs to change too. After translating the words or sentence, and changing the grammatical structure, when the meanings are compared in different languages, they are more or less the same. But if you translate the words in their direct meaning, the sentence won't make sense.
