Love is not only one of the strongest and most desired feelings known to humans, it is also a complicated emotion full of nuances and complexities.

In other languages, however, many of these 'loving' feelings can be expressed through individual words, and illustrator Emma Block has produced a touching collection of sketches for her series More Than Just a Word, and they capture the essence of these untranslatable words perfectly. Perhaps it's time for English to borrow some of these words and adopt them as their own? |
