Not NAYRT, but.. I'm honestly bookmarking this.

You put exactly what I've always tried to explain to people perfectly. Translating Japanese to English is not an exact science, and relies on all sorts of subtleties in word usage, conjugation, tone, and body language. It's not as simple as neko = cat.
