Actually, "aylak" is a Turkish word and means "calm", but can have negative notion too (lazy person or a bum). In Bulgarian "айляк" is used to describe someone who is free/relaxing (often as a joke). "Merak" is a Turkish word too, which means "passion" or "wish".

The word "sisu" in Finnish might be similar to the concept of "having guts" in English, if you consider the other word in Finnish, "sisus," which means "the inside," or "sisukset," the same in plural, meaning, "the innards." So, saying somebody has "sisu" could simply be understood as somebody "having guts."

As a polish INTP, yes. There’s a sphere of mathematics we call kombinatoryka, where it’s almost like a puzzle, every exercise is different and you have to come up with an unpredictable solution for each of them

[@A____B]

INTPs always want in new situations to solve them absolutely alone (unless they know they wouldn't make it) and with random actions, without a plan, knowing that may make mistakes as it's their first try and if the others are very aware of INTPs experience

[@mirriyastia]

Oh, I guess, we have the same word for this sphere in Russian (kombinatorika). Happily (or sadly), I'm not a mathematician, so I haven't met it in my life. But neighbours from Math told me that matan, linal, and terver were harder, than kombinatorika.

INFP here. Recently watched a documentary about wabi sabi and loved the concept as it felt like my life motto. When I was at university in a discussion a fellow student said he was annoyed by me treating everybody as if I believed they were great people. Our professor told him he had not understood anything about me, because I really do see the greatness in every person I meet, as I can see through their imperfections and embrace them as part of their humanity. This was the biggest compliment I ever got in my life, as I never before had experienced someone understanding how I perceive people. It still warms my heart and gives me confidence after 20 years. Of course it took me one year of psychotherapy to accept that I need to apply that approach also when watching myself, though. 🙊

Y'know as an ENFP I think is pretty true, I never feel more in control than when I'm performing, but I think a lot of people don't realize that often times we're actually terrified when we do something like that, specifically when we take it a step farther. We constantly push ourselves out of our comfort zones, and over time we build our confidence and callous over our sense of awkwardness. The older I get, the more I become desensitized to fear and awkwardness.

[@solarisan_]

It might be a good idea to consider making a video about the lesser-known traits that personality types have. Some are spiraling out of control that people have started seeing it only as a particular trait of a type. That influences people’s judgement in determining cognitive functions because they can no longer distinguish cognitive filter from behavior and stance. I have read a lot of descriptions that don’t exactly match my type. I will leave some of those traits of an INFJ here: rebellious, highly skeptical, can be extremely blunt, always asks why? and poses additional questions, ability to hold many contradictory ideas internally yet not agree with any of those, or confuse them as their own, stubborn, loves to understand the root cause of everything.

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

I am an INFJ too, and I find many videos on KZbin are basically cash grabs, with random stuff being assigned to types. I think the list in your comment would apply to me, but only if you add "about human actions" to it. I do not much care about the root cause of the Universe for example, but I do wonder about the root cause of someone being fascinated with the universe enough to make it their lifelong passion.

[@solarisan_]

@@thirstwithoutborders995 Personally, I think that I love knowing the cause of everything because I need to reach my own conclusion rather than simply believe what others are saying. Also, I tend to be rather curious and independent, so that does push me into certain directions, like wanting to know how to even change a tire, cook,… I wouldn’t say I am fascinated by those things, I just enjoy being able to do things on my own. Hope this makes sense to you.

Kuuki - a Japanese word that reminds me of ENFJs. The closest description I could give, is to sort of "read the room". It's being able to sense subtle social cues people are giving you, since Japanese people generally tend not to be very direct, especially in conflict. Irrelevant but, if I were to, strangely, type Japan as a society, I'd say it's a mix of ISTJ 1w9 and ISFJ 9w1, the latter being illustrated when you take words like kuuki, shouganai, tatemae and also mendokusai and mottainai into consideration, as a grander whole, as I think the mindsets they communicate are very encapsulative of large aspects of Japanese culture - Hikari.

Brilliant idea! Meraki/merak is an awesome word widely used in most of Balkan languages and is of turkish/arabic origin. Merak mi je (in ex-Yu languages) is something that you would say when you really feel like doing something that feels right at that moment but might or might not be silly or even a bit bad for you. It is usually used to describe something you do for pleasure and meraklija could loosely be translated as a hedonist.

[@mlandry491]

thank you for this. paints a clearer picture

[@Multitudes_]

As an INFP, yes, the concept of wabi-sabi has always resonated with me. I remember reading a book about wabi-sabi and trying to make some art inspired by that aesthetic years ago - though the essential mindset behind it has always come pretty naturally. I also really relate to the ISFP, ISFJ, and ISTJ ones in this video. Soul, creativity, and love + coziness and good vibes + slow pace and mindfulness is my kind of lifestyle. Well, that and a bunch of random abstraction. The Polish words are used frequently in my family ("kombinować" tends to have a negative connotation and is something people often tell each other not to do - as in "don't get any ideas" or "don't try anything funny"), and yeah, "załatwić" is my Te-dom father's specialty.

[@noemiac]

Nathan, dear, I've been lurking in the shadows for several weeks, but as a language-loving INTP, this video has definitely made me suscribe. I was going to ask what the process to select the words had been, but I've read it on a comment. And I didn't agree with the word for INTPs until it suddenly struck me that it was just yesterday when I manually changed the date of my computer to cover up for a, er, procrastination-related problem XD. Anyway, excellent video. Keep them coming.

[@PriHL]

You nailed it with the "kombinować" description for the INTP. With The ENTJ one "załatwić" it can be a bit sinister as in "not really legal", which is a meaning the word also shares with "kombinować". But mostly "załatwić" is used in a sense of getting things done, organised or as doing someone a favour. It can also refer to acquiring something that is hard to get. However, if one says "załatwię cię" - which you could roughly translate as "I'll finish you" - can either be a death threat or the threat of destroying someone's life.

[@sad_hedgehog]

native rus here, i can say a few more words about pochemuchka (почемучка). 3:49 what has been said in the video is accurate.) the stem of the word is "pochemu" (почему), which is literally the question "why"; and the suffix is "-chka" (-чка), which is a diminutive-affectionate siffix. the word is used usually for kids and teens, in positive or netural context. i am trying, but cannot ever imagine a situation where it would be used purely negatively. in positive context it encourages small ones to ask more questions and just signals others that some particilar kid nicknamed (usually by other adults or older siblings) "pochemuchka" likes to aks "why" a lot; in netural it is used to stop kids for a sec and/or dodge the never-ending questions, like, "oh, you! you are a pochemuchka that we have here, yes, pochemucha, aren't you? now stop jumping on the spot, sit down and eat." there's also a counterpart that's usually attributed to the adults/parents who are answering these why-questions: "potomuchka" (потомучка). the structure of the word it the same, just the stem is changed from "pochemu" (почему) - "why", to "potomu" (потому) - "because". thats it thanks for coming to my ted talk

[@JokerCrowe]

I wasn't sure what this video would be, but I really enjoyed it! I think your words for INFJs was pretty accurate, and being from the north it was nice to see Hygge and Sisu included. 😊 I've also seen "nunchi" be described as "eye power" (눈치; nun = eye, chi = energy/power), but the phenomenon is pretty much what you described. A person with nunchi can pick up on cues, microexpressions and _understand_ people without needing to spend too much time with them. I've seen it described as a trait that INFJs have too. Another Korean word that's untranslatable, but might suit high Fe users is "Jeong" (정). From what I've understood it describes a "love for all in society", or maybe "politeness based in love". Someone with Jeong is a type of person to ask others if they need anything when going to the store, or sharing some of their food before eating. Or it could also be helping a stranger carrying heavy things, or an elderly person crossing the road. I think it's pretty much expected of you in Korea, but it's apparently not very common in the west, except maybe with people who have high Fe (FJ's). For example, I think most stereotypical ESFJ's would be considered to have Jeong I'm INFJ and a Korean student I'd gotten to know at my university told me that I have "Jeong". Maybe my translation is bad, but someone fluent in Korean can feel free to correct me. :)

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, do you think South Korea is easy to navigate as an INFJ? I have travelled a lot, and I have found some societies flow better with me than others, but I have not been to SK yet.

[@JokerCrowe]

@@thirstwithoutborders995 I think it depends on what you plan on doing, but in general people are very helpful and pleasant. I think it's a society that values Fe (harmony and helping others), and if you're not from there, they're going to see that you're a "foreigner" and probably be more understanding if you don't understand certain things. But I think it also depends on where you intend on travelling, I was basically only in Seoul when I was there, and since it's the "big city", there are more internationally inclined people, and (I think) more people in the younger age range. I think SK has some slightly aged social ideas, their view of women seems stuck in the 50's and if you're a darker skinned foreigner I can't guarantee that everyone will be as nice (especially if you travel outside the big cities); but I also think it's a country that values people who are interested in their culture, so as a tourist they will probably treat you well. I don't know if that answered your question? I was mostly visiting museums and concerts, but not going to clubs and such, so maybe the "night life" is harder to navigate. But I had a lovely time when I was there (being a tall man from Sweden x).

this is my favorite video ever 😭❤️

[@CineMairon]

That was brilliant and very fitting. And finally I could agree with mine! While I knew the term Hygga, I wouldn't think of it as the ISFJs word, didn't know what to expect really, as it's too chill in its slang meaning, but the truth is that the essence of the word describes us perfectly and I catch myself wanting to create this atmosphere which stays in my memory. And also the word μεράκι is so perfect for ISFPs! That I know as a Greek ^-^

[@jsmith317]

Wow. That is perfect for my INTJ hubby. We were working on getting a grant for a community project he'd engineered. We wrote it very well and hadn't left any of the requirements undone. In fact, we'd not only written the description with more details and design imagery than required but also designed the project itself to be efficient, fiscally streamlined, and full of planned feedback reports for the grantor and for all leaders involved. We got such a quick "no" response that we both decided they hadn't even read it. So, he called them and kept going through the ranks of people until he found one of the decision-makers and convinced them to pull it from the slush pile and actually read it, while also emphasizing what was in it for them to sponsor the project in our region. They read it, and we got the grant. The guy on the phone said he'd never had someone call like that nor been so persuasive and determined. My INTJ can be a loveable, persistent dog wrestling a toy free from grip. 🤣🥰 He also is on the borderline into ENTJ, and that's him, too.

[@Glowerer]

I am quite surprised right now. I literally have that INFJ word as a personal rule, something I deliberately made up. It goes like; if somebody goes against me/hurts me, I can forgive them the first time since that might mean that they didn't know, and I can warn them about it. Then, I can forgive them a second time since that might mean that they did not really understand when I warned them. But if it happens a third time, I now know that they did not care, and I can just cut out that person from my mind. What's surprising is that I was typing as an INTJ, but that is something I deeply identified with.

[@currymuttonpizza2]

Yes, that one is great for INFP. I had predicted either Sehnsucht or Weltschmerz, though those maybe don’t seem as positive. Wabi-Sabi and Weltschmerz are both listed as related terms on the wiki for Sehnsucht, they are all in the same ballpark. The wiki page about Sehnsucht talked about the need to set unachievable goals in order to mentally process smaller steps for practical ones, and that really nails down my whole approach to life. It can backfire like any other method or approach to goal management, but the amazing thing is that chasing the fantasy unachievable goal forces you to see tangible applications of concepts that you previously couldn’t process or internalize. It’s just important to remember that’s how it functions, otherwise you are very prone to heartbreak over never achieving a dream. Achieving it was never the point.

I actually also was expecting Weltschmerz, as that sums up my teenage years 😂 But nowadays in my 40ies I'm kind of fed up with Weltschmerz, I just can't enjoy it any more. Today I just feel very much part of the world as a whole.

My best friend ENFP and me INFP - you are spot on here!

1:23 Im surprised i Know that word but not the meaning, from bo-en's "my time"

[@LadySelene100]

You nailed the definition of Hygge Nathan. In regards to Arbejdsglæde: You made me laugh unintentionally. Not because your definition was poor, but because I strongly suspect the Danish Primeminister to be an ESTJ. Recently at a pressconference she stated that the Danes should stop prioritizing passion as a criteria when choosing a career or a job. That is obviously very poor advice, that no one should follow. Here a few more Danish terms for you to study as you please, Slette-Mette and Mette-Mink. Thank you for this very interesting video.

love your video's! many hugs and merry christmas

[@floridaman45]

As an entj this video could not be more accurate, that untranslatable word describes the stereotypical malignant narcissism entjs are know for extremely well.

[@froilandragon5693]

Filipino here. Also ENFP. The way Duende is used in my country is basically a reference to a mystical creature that casts curses on you if you do them wrong. In this sense, an English word you can directly associate with Duende may be “Fey”. Assuming that's an English word.

[@nikibyalo260]

My parents don't know this word: 3:50 , but they told me another untranslative word: "Patamushka - This is how it is but not as it is"

[@RelyableLerilay]

This one video was especially interesting, I wonder, how long it took Nathan to find those words

[@howaperfectlybeautifulchil7340]

Really creative and interesting! Thanks!

[@kellywelch9653]

I greatly enjoyed this video.

[@somoko5128]

Cool list and great video. I wonder how many words you collected as raw material before you decided for the final 16.

[@sunriseshine88-tory-85]

I think Duende also refers to a goblin like creature in some folklores. They are very mischievous creatures. They can be moody because when disturbed they are said to bring curses upon you. Somehow ENFPs can be that “wild”. They can be mischievous and unpredictable. They can bring you to emotional rollercoasters and their incomprehensible behavior can be somewhat of a curse if you don’t get where they are coming from.

I loved this. Bravo!

Lord...that is exactly what I do and have done all of my life. I will give you plenty of opportunities, but then the door is slammed and will not be opened again!

Very interesting idea for a video!

[@Amanita._.Verosa._.]

Merry Christmas (belated), Nathan.

[@squirrelking5203]

As someone who really enjoys finding words with complex meanings, thank you for this video. It was very insightful. I do have a question though. Is there a reason I so often see INFP as the last personality type described in videos like these? I've seen this trend in your and other youtuber's videos and I'm curious why that may be.

[@micahelder-lindt9852]

I believe it's to keep infps, who I believe make up a very large share of the mbti fans on KZbin, watching for the longest to get the most watchtime/revenue. Maybe there's some other explanation besides greed, but this is just the first thing that popped out of my cynical intp mind...

[@nataliafilson7477]

I was wondering about it too

[@nataliafilson7477]

@@micahelder-lindt9852 omg, I think you're right. My attention span only lasts for the types I am familiar with or have close family/friends. I usually pay attention to INTP, INFJ, INTJ, ESFJ, ENFJ types, and pay especially close attention to INFP. LOL, you guessed what type I am?

[@elphieofkiamoko]

INFJ and as soon as you started explaining it, I was like "Wow, you're dropping the doorslam on us" xD I think you nailed it lol

[@jgf9105]

the way i was 100% ready to accept enfp was gremlin

[@RosheenQuynh]

As an INFP, that word totally fits. Also, I wonder if INFPs are "victims" of sonder more than other types? 🤔 Hell, I do this with _fictional_ characters...

[@deskotjes6536]

INFP here as well, the sonder often hits me on the autobahn… people driving by, for a split second you noticed the other person and they are gone again BUT they drive somewhere and they came from a place, they listened to music maybe and had specific thoughts and you will probably never actually meet them. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the perceived complexity that surrounds me on the autobahn… and then I have to distract myself to not get a brain cramp hah

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@deskotjes6536 That sounds the worst place to have sonder happening 😂

[@ctzippifuchs9161]

Just googled sonder and wow..didn't know there was a word that so perfectly describes what I feel

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@ctzippifuchs9161 Right?!

[@nataliafilson7477]

Spot-on about INFP

[@JoiskiMe]

Just to rain on Denmark's parade like a true Norwegian, "hygge" is an extremely common word in all the Scandinavian languages (including Faroese and Icelandic). To a Norwegian, like myself, it's almost used as frequently as the English words "great" and "wonderful" in English.

[@Who-710]

I was soo surprised when i heard a Bulgaria word for istj , i didn't even think people knew about Bulgaria at all . Im bulgarian btw ...esfp too
