The Greek World That Can't Be Translated
There's one word which is baffling everyone - even the BBC is talking about it and you can see more below.
There's a word which is baffling everyone and even though the official translation is 'Love of Honour' - the meaning of the word "Philotimo" is something which is being debated all around the world as it's a word which cannot be translated exactly.
In Greece, people often use the word "Philotimo" to describe a person who's gone out of their way to help you in some way - whether it's someone you just met or an old friend.
The word has so many people baffled that even the BBC has done a feature on it as no one has been able to find the direct translation for the word as of yet.
