the blacklist has really done so much for this world for instance its representation of bisexual-with-big-brown-eyes-4-bisexual-with-big-brown-eyes relationships

Round one: 사람, saram vs Aufhebung

(poll at the end)

사람, saram (Korean)

[ˈsʰa̠ɾa̠m]

Translation: Person

Korean is spoken by 50 million people in South Korea and 25,4 million people in North Korea. It is almost an isolate, a language unrelated to other languages, except that there’s another Koreanic language spoken on Jeju island whose speakers are switching to Korean. The Korean script, Hangul, is pretty interesting: It’s the only big writing system which is featural, which means that the way characters look are based on how the sounds they represent are produced in the mouth, so that similar sounds look similar.

Motivation: It’s one character off from 사랑 which means love and I think that’s neat. People are about love!!

Aufhebung (German)

[ˈaʊ̯fˌheːbʊŋ]

Translation: There is no English equivalent; it can be translated as "to sublate", "to abolish", "to transcend", or "to supercede" (also "to pick up", "to raise", "to keep", "to preserve", "to end", "to annul", or "to pocket").

German is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch and spoken in Germany by 80 600 000 people and 133 250 000 people worldwide. Or is it? That is true for Standard German, which is part of the Continental West Germanic dialect continuum stretching from the Netherlands to Austria, and including High, Middle and Low German dialects as well as Dutch. Standard German is a High German variety (High German refers to dialects and languages in southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Parts of the continuum aren’t mutually intelligible, but sinch Standard German has been the writing norm for centuries and used in education, media and administration, people can understand each other anyway since some regional differences have mellowed in the last generations, although some Low German dialects in the north are closer to Dutch than High German dialects in southern Germany.

Motivation: It's a unique German word that's important for Marxist and Hegelian philosophy, conveying the idea of the death of something while still maintaining the old within the new; to simultaneously abolish while preserving.

Which is the best word?

사람, saram

Aufhebung
