Once I asked a Japanese with enough experiences in English "How do you say 'OTSUKARE-SAMA in English?".

He replied with half laughing "アメリカ人はそんな傷口を舐めあうような会話は しないよ：AMERIKA-JIN WA SON'NA KIZUGUTI WO NAME-AU YOU-NA KAIWA WA SHINAI YO; (I can not translate to English)".

Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
