Give examples of words that English is missing

I've heard, and used, a plural for 'You' where I live.

Yous - You want to make a plural? Add an 's'! (Only works when you're speaking though.

As for 'You Guys" - it's used all the time here, when addressing friends. If you said "You ladies" You're usually talking to a group of women that you don't know or you are from the older generation.

"You lot": It's gender-neutral.

In Afrikaans the word for "the day after tomorrow" is "oormôre" and "the day before yesterday" is "eergister".

I can think of two Russian words

zloradstvovat' - to derive pleasure from someone else's misfortune
zloradstvo- pleasure gained from someone else's misfortune

***to derive pleasure from someone else's misfortune***

We tend to use the German version - Schadenfreude

american:"I can think of two Russian words
zloradstvovat' - to derive pleasure from someone else's misfortune
zloradstvo- pleasure gained from someone else's misfortune"

May be "gloat" will do?
2 : gloat: to observe or think about something with triumphant and often malicious satisfaction, gratification, or delight <gloat over an enemy's misfortune>Webster

<<May be "gloat" will do? >>

"Gloat" isn't really the same thing as "Schadenfreude," tho. As Damian indicated, if English speakers need to express that concept the word "Schadenfreude" (obviously taken from German) is commonly used.

Vladimir Nabokov who had a great command of the three european languages from his very childhood (Ryssian, English, French) felt the lack of the russian word "poshlost'':

Borges said once that some shades of meaning can't be put in certain languages because the mechanics of the language simply won't allow it. In particular, you can translate "Estaba solita" from English into Spanish as "She was all alone." But "Estaba sentadita" (which conveys affection and tenderness on the part of the speaker) has no clear and direct way of translating into English.

Yeah, you do have a point, but even though schadenfreude is sometimes used, we don't have any term of our own to express such an emotion.

From previous messages:

dianteday = the day before yesterday

trianteday = the day before the day before yesterday

dipostday = the day after tomorrow

tripostday = the day after the day after tomorrow

>>As for 'You Guys" - it's used all the time here, when addressing friends. If you said "You ladies" You're usually talking to a group of women that you don't know or you are from the older generation.<<

>>"You lot": It's gender-neutral.<<

Actually, in at least the dialect here, "you guys" *is* gender-neutral, despite the etymology of "guys", and may very well be used to refer to groups of individuals who are all female.

Note though that it seems that "guys" has come to often be used in a gender-neutral fashion by itself outside of just the usage "you guys" here, so the gender-neutral-ness of "you guys" is actually not just particular to that specific usage here. However, singular "guy" is still specifically gendered here in all usages, unlike the plural "guys".

Actually, I might suggest that English isn't missing any words at all.

It has all the words its native speakers require to express themselves.

As does any language.

English is missing a word for the night before Halloween.

A word that English is missing is a word for neutral term referring to an uncle or a aunt.
