相席(あいせき,) means “sharing a table with someone you don’t know (e.g. at a restaurant)” (Takoboto).

What other fun words have you all encountered that just don’t translate well to English or require a short explanation?

I’d like to make a sentence that’s very long in translation, and/or read a silly sentence like that.

    To clarify, the word OP brought up is “aiseki”.

    (Takoboto is a dictionary site.)
