Try to come up with a word, or a concept, which cannot be translated into Esperanto.

I will start: TV static

This does not exist in english ether, but plural and singular "you" and inclusive and exclusive "we" are very neat consepts

Also a word I think exist almost only in the scandinavian languages and dutch is "pålegg" (in norwegian), which means something you put on bread or in a sandwich.

plural and singular "you"
Plural = vin
Singular = ci
inclusive and exclusive "we" are very neat consepts
We (exclusive) = Ni sen mi
We (inclusive) = Ni

Can anyone translate TV static?

Vin can also be singular.....
and ni sen vi is super clunky, but I guess that works

Televidbruo, video-bruo, televidneĝo...

Some suggestion:
vida bruo (visual noise)
ekrana bruo (screen noise)

'Beleg' in Dutch...

Any filling for a sandwich, though it is something you 'lay on' bread. Tricky.

Okay, can anyone else come up with something that is impossible to translate.
