The concept of untranslatability refers to the situations in which a word, phrase, expression, cultural practice, or literary element in the source language cannot be transferred into the target language with complete equivalence. It does not imply that translation is impossible; rather, it suggests that certain meanings, emotions, cultural associations, stylistic features, and linguistic structures cannot be reproduced fully without some degree of loss, addition, or transformation. In translation studies, untranslatability is considered one of the major challenges in the translation process. The idea of untranslatability has been discussed by several scholars. J. C. Catford distinguished between linguistic untranslatability and cultural untranslatability. Linguistic untranslatability arises when grammatical structures, phonetic features, idioms, or lexical items of the source language have no direct counterparts in the target language. Cultural untranslatability occurs when concepts, customs, beliefs, institutions, or traditions specific to one culture are absent
