I have seen a few fun articles about words in other languages that we don't have in English, here is one for Swedish:

(I once mentioned "fika" to a native Danish speaker and I was surprised that he had no idea what I was talking about.)

But what about words we have in English that they don't have in other languages? Can you think of any examples? Or, do other languages just adopt the English word when this happens?
