The problem with "do"

Has it occurred to anyone that the verb "to do," does not occur in almost all other languages. What does "do" mean? Try to explain that to a non-English speaking person.

If I were explaining the word "do" to a non-english speaking person I think the definition would be something like this: " 'Do' is a word that replaces another word, like 'accomplish'. 'I want to accomplish a lot' is the same as 'I want to do a lot.' But the word 'do' is easier to pronounce."

I would probably sing a Julie Andrews song...but I would need a guitar player.
