I'm surprised no one has mentioned natural semantic metalanguage at this point. Research indicates that all humans share a common frame of core concepts. It shouldn't be too surprising if one considers our brains to be similarly engineered.
My question is that, if one cannot describe something, did you , in fact,understand what you were experiencing?
