There are many foreign words that are not easily translated into English, such as "hygge" (Danish), meaning a cozy and comfortable feeling, or "saudade" (Portuguese), which represents a deep longing or nostalgia. Each language has unique expressions that capture specific cultural concepts.

Why are books referred to as a man’s best companion? Which is your favourite book and why? Write a paragraph about that book.
Books are referred to as a man’s best companion because they guide us, teach us, make us laugh, make us cry, make us introspect, and help us to become a better version of ourselves. Books are the companions who will never leave us.
