| Sumario: | This paper proposes an intercultural dialogue between concepts of two languages and two cultures.

The hypothesis suggests that the difference and difficulty of translation reveals some key ideas that help to understand the implicit worldview in the Andean culture and language, as well as the implicit culture and worldview in contemporary Latin American societies. |
