Untranslatable Words from Languages around the World: and how you can Ship Internationally to these Countries!

In all languages around the world, there are words that simply cannot be translated back to English. The different languages, and phrases within them, give a glimpse into the region's culture and history.

Whether the untranslatable phrase is Germanic, Romance, or other, keep in mind K International Transport's international shipping services. Maybe you will need to ship cargo to one of these countries in the near future!

1. Tokka ( Finnish) 

This phrase, originating in Finland, refers to a herd of reindeer. English does not have a word for a group of traveling reindeer, and this may be due to America's lack of reindeer. 

Shipping to Finland from the United States can be easy and hassle-free with reliable international shipping companies like K International Transport. Whether you want to travel to Finland and ship some belongings with you, or you just want to live around some reindeer, K International Transport can ship your cargo from any port in the United States, including from

New York

Maryland

Virginia

 South Carolina

Georgia

 Florida

 Texas 

California 

and more! 

2. Age-Otori (Japanese) 

This phrase, originating in Japan, refers to a situation in which a person looks worse after getting a haircut. What it would take us a whole sentence to say in English, the Japanese can say in only one word. 

Again, shipping internationally to Japan is easier than you might think with K International Transport. Whether you are shipping a car with our international automobile shipping services, or just shipping household goods, the process can be hassle-free with K International. 

3. Pochemuchka (Russian)

This Russian phrase refers to a person who asks too many questions. This is usually used on little kids, who constantly bother their older family members with their questions. 

Whether you need to ship to Russia, or anywhere else in the world, asking us questions is encouraged! K International Transport is a trustworthy international shipping company, and we will address all of your concerns, no matter how many there are.

Biggest Overseas Blunder and International Shipping

It's a known fact that K International Transport is a reliable and trustworthy international shipping company. But does that mean that all overseas transport in history was successful? 

There is one example of a disastrous overseas voyage that everyone knows about! Hint: there is a movie and a Celine Dion song dedicated to it. 

If you guessed Titanic, you're right! 

When the Titanic was first built in the first half of the 20th century, it was called the "Unsinkable Ship." Its job was to carry passengers from the UK to New York, but it tragically sank just 3 hours after its departure, when it hit an iceberg .

But what does this have to do with international shipping services? Unlike the "unsinkable" Titanic, K International Transport can ensure the safety of your cargo when it is shipped overseas. 

We can ship virtually anything you can think of, including automobiles, construction equipment, and even boats and ships with our international boat shipping services. 

No matter where you are shipping to, we can offer International shipping to Europe, Asia, Africa, or South America from any port in the United States, including New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, and more!

So call K International Transport today for reliable and safe international shipping services. Call us at 212-267-6400, Skype us at kinternationalny, or email us at sales@kinternational.com. We may not have a movie, or even a song, dedicated to us, but we can get your cargo to its destination safely and efficiently!

Internationally Shipping Vintage Cars (Part 2)

In one of last week's blog posts, we mentioned K International Transport's reliability in shipping vintage cars internationally. A TV show on Discovery Channel, called "Fast N' Loud," deals with vintage and antique cars, just like many trustworthy international shipping companies. 

In this show, several vintage-car-enthusiasts from Dallas, Texas find broken down cars, and restore them for a profit. Although K International Transport doesn't have "automobile restoration" included in their international shipping services, we can help ship your antique car to anywhere in the world from the United States. 

Wondering how we do it? Most of the steps in our international automobile shipping services apply to vintage cars as well, but our concern for your automobile's safety, and our attention to detail puts us high above the rest. The steps in shipping a vintage car internationally are as follows: 

1. The automobile will be moved from a warehouse to a port in the United States. If you're vehicle is not located near a port, we can offer inland trucking and transportation services. With the help of K International Transport's international shipping services, your vehicle can be moved to a port in New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, or California. 
2. Next, we will load your car into a vessel with our roll-on/roll-off services. This will ensure that your automobile gets onto the vessel safely and with no hassle on your part. Containerized shipping for your automobile is an even safer alternative, where the car will be securely fastened.
3. From then on, K International will help you with customs clearance, transport of the cargo from the port to its final destination, and unpacking services.

We can even ship a 1927 Ford Model T!

Contact K International Transport today for reliable overseas car transport services to help ship your vintage vehicle internationally! Call us at 212-267-6400, reach out to us on Skype at kinternationalny, or email us at sales@kinternational.com. Don't forget to watch "Fast N' Loud" for more information on vintage car restoration, but remember that K International Transport will help get that car to where it needs to go!
