Significado
Words are not enough to describe it.
Contexto cultural
When guests visit a Turkish home, the abundance of food and the warmth of the welcome is often described by the guests later as 'anlatılmaz yaşanır'. It's a way to honor the host's effort. The phrase has roots in the idea that spiritual enlightenment cannot be taught through books; it must be experienced through the heart. In the age of Instagram, this phrase is the go-to caption for 'humble bragging' about a luxury vacation or a beautiful view. Turkish football fans are famously passionate. The atmosphere in a stadium during a 'derbi' (like Galatasaray vs. Fenerbahçe) is the definition of 'anlatılmaz yaşanır'.
Use it for Sarcasm

Don't Overuse
If everything is 'anlatılmaz yaşanır', nothing is. Save it for truly special moments.
