peer agreement (net): +5Ineffable Explanation: "Ineffable adjective 1. incapable of being expressed or described in words; inexpressible: ineffable joy. 2. not to be spoken because of its sacredness; unutterable: the ineffable name of the deity." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ineffable?s=t -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2012-11-06 20:25:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think a literal translation such as impalpable would have a rather serious tone for the style of this phrase - in English. |
