Non Native English Speakers... what is a nice word or expression in your mother language that cant really be translated into english ?

from german its the very short word "Tja"

its when you encounter a situation where you cant do anything about it and dont really want to do either. its a mixture of acceptance, defeat and even ackknowledgement.

Another word its the german "doch". There is no exactly English translation as far I now.
The closest translation is "though" or "anyway".

If someone ask you if you didnt do something and you want to answer, that its not right, because you did it, you answer "Doch, I did it!"
