Every language has concepts that they capture with a word or short phrase that doesn't quite directly translate because of the layered nature of language and meaning. But setting aside the incredible differences between wholly unrelated language types, in which there are such deep cultural differences that we conceive the world in entirely different terms - such as cultures in which temporal relationships are not a part of language - there's generally a pretty close equivalent to get across the same feeling or concept most of the time,and I don't think any of the european languages are superior to others in their ability to capture and express the sense of a thing.
