So I was reading about how Urdu poetry makes romance feel so much deeper, and it got me thinking. Last night I tried translating a line from a poem I liked into English, but it just didn’t have the same effect. In Urdu it felt like the words carried an extra softness and emotion, while in English it came out flat. Has anyone else noticed how certain languages just carry feelings in a more powerful way?

I’m not much into poetry myself, but I’ve seen how language shapes emotional reactions in everyday life. For example, when my friends switch between Spanish and English while talking about family or relationships, the mood changes completely. It’s like the choice of words, even the way vowels and consonants are arranged, can change how much warmth or nostalgia comes through.
Yeah, I get what you mean. I remember my grandfather reciting lines in Urdu when I was a kid, and even though I didn’t understand every word, the flow and sound had this calming rhythm that English doesn’t always capture. When I stumbled upon this https://1shayari.in/love-shayari-why-romance-feels-deeper-in-urdu/ , it explained how cultural context and word choice really shape how emotions land. Honestly, I think that’s why people feel Urdu adds more depth to love poems — it’s not just the meaning, but the whole vibe of the language.
