Introducing Google Input Tools

  • 0:02 - 0:06
    There’s this word in Chinese
    “Xiang” that kind of means
  • 0:06 - 0:13
    smells good
    It can describe a flower, food, really anything
  • 0:13 - 0:20
    But it’s always a positive description for
    things
  • 0:20 - 0:26
    It’s hard to translate into something other
    than mandarin
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    We have this word in Fiji-Hindi
    Called “Talanoa”
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Really it is the feeling you get,
    late on a Friday night,
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    Surrounded by your friends
    Shooting the breeze,
  • 0:36 - 0:44
    But it’s not quite that,
    It’s a sort of warmer and friendlier version
  • 0:44 - 0:49
    of small talk
    Just about everything you could think of
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    off the top of your head
  • 0:51 - 0:58
    There’s this Greek word, “meraki”
    That means to really put your soul, put your
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    entire being
    into what you’re doing, whether it’s your
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    hobby or it’s your work
    You’re doing it with love for what you’re
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    doing
    But it’s one of those cultural things,
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    that I’ve never been able to come up with
    a good translation
  • 1:14 -
    “Meraki,” with passion, with love
