Which word in any language has the most complex definition. As in, a definition that cannot otherwise be summed up in English?
None.
There's no concept in any language that can't be adequately described in another language.
Another way of looking at it: IF you believe there's absolutely "no way" to understand what x word from y language "really" means unless you're a native speaker of that language, then there's no concept in any language that can be adequately described in another language.

In English we don't have a specific word for "the day after tomorrow" we just say "the day after tomorrow" which means "one day after tomorrow" and I think that's beautiful

I like reverso context
It’s a searchable database of translations basically? So you can see how human translators have chosen to translate a word or a phrase.
It’s great but you do have to use your brain. You have to consider the context that the word is being used in. Onde and vague can both be translated as wave in English but they mean different things!
One more thing to consider is the number of times translators in the database have made that choice. On desktop reverso will actually give you numbers for how often a phrase has been translated a certain way. On mobile you have to use your best judgment. If a translation only has one or two occurrences, I would be wary of it.
For instance, I once found ‘man bun’ translated as ‘homme du pain’ on there. 😂 It gave me like 15 instances of ‘le man bun’ 3 ‘chignon masculin’ and one ‘homme du pain’. You see why it’s important to use your best judgement and look at the number of occurrences?
Reverso also has many more features including a searchable database of conjunctions that I use all the time. It’s definitely one of my favorite tools even if my professors would prefer that I stuck exclusively to le dictionnaire Larousse.
Does anyone know a good resource for finding French words and phrases? I know there is SpanishDict for Spanish, but I was curious if there was something like that for the French language?
