Had to look that up. Great word to say!
level 2
I don’t even know how to start pronouncing it. 
level 1
Omg, I was gonna say indubitably too.
level 2
That’s cause it is indubitably the most fun word to say!
level 1
If I’m trying to sound like a mature person to all you kind internet strangers, I’m going with «genuinely». It rolls off the tongue so well, and fits into literally every conversation.
If I’m being a little more honest…. gonna go with «fuck». All the same reasons, and it changes connotation with how loud you say it, unlike most words!
level 1
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, ever sense I learned it I always found it fun to say and spell

I don’t know why, it just kinda feels good to say that

UMBRELLA is my favorite words. It is a strong word besides loving its sound.
-
Exquisite is my favorite word….
-
It’s difficult to choose only one word, for I like many words. Two words I like the most are: satisfied & complacent, cuz my name “Radia” in my language, Arabic, means that. I like the sound of satisfied and the meaning of complacent as it means so satisfied. I also like the word courageous. Radia, Libya.
-
I like the word “sunshine” the most. Its warmth, glittering and spirituous. It shows a good start, hope and yet…lucky! I wanna be “sunshine in the rain”
-
MY favorite word is wherever, because it sounds good…
Fabiola -
My favorite is SOURCE… =]
It just sounds very nice and the meaning is great! -
My favourite word is APPRECIATE…
-
My favorite word is zucchini ^^ It sounds great !!!!
-
One of my favourite word is enthusiastic (sorry, I know I’m not being very original), it took me ages to be able to pronounce it correctly! I also like outrageous and forerunner.
-
My favorite word is resplendent. It sounds as grand as the sun
-
my favorite words are serenity mmm..and serendipity…oh and sentinel…
I love the way they sssound 🙂 -
‘Indigo” is great – it manages to sound both cozy and dangerous.
-
One of my favourite English words is EXTRAORDINARY! Firstly because of the pronounciation, especially when being uttered by my Brittish friends, secondly due to its meaning which is so “out of the way”! =)
I also love the words HILLARIOUS, FABULOUS and BRILLIANT! Same too reasons! -
Well, my favourite English word would be “bee”. I don’t know, it just sounds so cute and you instantly can imagine the sound of bees. And you might forget that they can sting, too. So yeah, that’s my favourite word.
-
I love the word ‘procrastination’ because it doesn’t exist in my mother tongue (German), because it sounds sophisticated and because I can use it to tell people in a nice way that they should get their work done 😉
-
My favorite English word is “perhaps” I like to pronounce it and the sound when someone else pronounce it.
-
My favourite English word is “LOVE”…….. 🙂
-
My favorite word is “Serendipity” The first time I heard about this word was in a movie….I like it for its meaning and because in my mother tongue, Spanish, there is not a word that means the same.
-
“payday”.. no seriously.. well half-seriously “acquiese” or “lascivious” 😉
-
that should be “acquiesce”.. can’t spell so why do I teach English??
-
My favorite English word is “twilight” because it asociates with two lovely things bird twitting and day light )
-
I definitely love the sound of “scissors”: you can feel how paper is cut when you pronounce it. And also “Malmsey”, which reminds me of my English History lessons at university…. the Tudors always drank that wine in my teacher’s opinion. Some years later I travelled to Sicily and tasted the local variety of it… Wonderful! Finally, 2 more words: “pristine” and “gorgeous”.
-
hey guys what do you think of..
UBIQUITOUS?
i think it’s cool.
-
My favourite is LOVELY…. it has a very nice pronuciation with my Slovak accent.
-
My favourite English word is “compassion” firstly because of the meaning and also because it includes the word “passion” which is another word I love- thus I get 2 for the price of 1…it’s great-I don’t have to choose between the 2 words!
-
Kerfuffle
-
My favorite word is OBLIVION. It sound magical and it evokes the sea and the mountains.
-
i love to use PLEASURE in my sentences 🙂
-
My favourite English word is an expression actually:” two thumbs up”;
I like this expression because when you say it you use your fingers and body as well and usually when someone speaks he uses his whole body to communicate.
Morevoer this expression can initiate others like: three thumbs up or ten thumbs up or two hands up etc…….that’s why I do like these words together! -
“Ombudsman” is Swedish, “zucchini” is Italian – English is such a fabulous language – constantly adorning itself with jewels from multicultural crowns. By the way, “slut” comes from “slattern” which means a sloppy housekeeper, NOTHING to do with loose morals! My favourite word is “voluptuous”, especially as pronounced by an old Finnish friend of mine who used to say “volumptuous” !!!
-
My favorite words are all the performative verbs (promise, forbid, invite, swear, declare etc) not because of their sound but rather because of their power to convey the kind of speech act being performed.
Claudio Silva -
My favorite word in English is ‘knowledge’, because I think sounds good! HAHAHA’
-
My favorite English word is definitely “procrastination”. It just sounds good and it’s a very useful word. We also have an equivalent in Spanish (procrastinar), though we don’t use it as often.
-
“tangerine ” because it sounds as it tastes:sour and sweet
-
My favourite English word is “candy” because is sweet
-
I hated MENAGERIE as a child. It made me itch. I see someone wrote RENDEZVOUS. This reminds me of George W, who apparently said that the French were no good in business because they didn’t have a word for ENTREPRENEUR. Well, well!!
-
I really like the word WINNINGEST which I gather is used by sports announcers in the States. In the U.K. we never use that word but it is such a funny (and useful) word!
Also on the Simpsons they used that word EMBIGGENS, as in “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man”.
It’s amazing how these words start off tongue in cheek but end up being used day to day.
-
I think I went thru about a 1/4 of the comments before someone said a “true” English word … one that has Anglo-Germanic roots rather than a Latinate or Greek-rooted word. That’s kind of sad.
The one that I like the best … bedoven … means to be drenched or drowned (ppl from archaic bedive). For byspel: After walking thru the jungle, he was bedoven with sweat.
-
My favorite English word is “TOUCH”. It sounds great!!!
-
my best word is WEIRD. I love the pronunciation
-
i like to us the word ‘SIBLINGS because it sounds very good when we use it instead saying brothers and sisters
-
My favourite word is awkward. Maybe because of its structure.I really love to use it everyday ! 😀 :))))
-
My favourite word is “super”. It is easily recognized and frequently used by almost everybody!
-
My favourite word is ‘forlorn’, which I heard first in John Keat’s Ode to a Nightingale. I just love how it sounds, because it’s true, “the very word is like a bell”.
I also like other English words such as ‘solace’ (the very sound of the word transmits softness and calm), ‘dearest’ (it sounds very tender and endearing), ‘sojourn’ (I find it graceful)… -
my favorite word in English is : AWESOME . and i use it a lot
Opulent. Peach. Elbow.
What’s your favorite word in English? When you work at an online language school, these are the kinds of questions that get asked every day. Not just because it’s helpful for communication, (although that’s important of course), but because some words carry a personal meeting. Sometimes they sound poetic. And sometimes just plain weird. This morning we surveyed the Lingoda team, and here are some of their favorite words in English, and why.
Learn languages at your pace
Ay-up: “It reminds me of home (Yorkshire) and it can be used in a variety of situations. I checked and it’s in the Collins dictionary… though it hasn’t been confirmed as a real word yet!” (Laura, UK)
Tenacity: “Because it is a characteristic that can get you through the challenges and help you get to the ‘finish line’.” (Shari United States)
Whimsical: “Just because it’s my favorite quote from my favorite book*. ‘Life is full of whimsical happenings, Watson.’ *Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. (Caro, Germany)
Fluffy: “Because of the Little Girl with the unicorn from the movie Despicable Me, ‘It’s so fluffy I’m gonna dieeee’.” (Charlotte, Germany)
We: “I love the word ‘we’. It shows strength.” (Palvi, India)
Serendipity: “I just like how it sounds.” (Ari, Colombia)
Sarcasm: “Because life is pain.” (Akber, Pakistan)
Queue: “Because the last four letters in the word are not even needed but they exist.” (Lana, Russia)
Wanderlust: “It is what keeps us going. And I like that it is rooted in the German language.” (Fabio, Italy)
Strengths: “It’s more like a love/hate relationship. Obviously I like the meaning but there are just too many consonants and being a German native the th+s is just torture.” (Caro, Germany)
Underpants: “Only the English could come up with a word so unsexy when talking about underwear.” (Paul, UK)
Synergy: “I like the concept and it sounds and looks cool.” (Abel, United States)
Irregardless: “Because it doesn’t exist but people use it and it’s funny.” (Enrique, Venezuela)
Bewildered: “It sounds exactly like what it means (confused and distracted).” (Peter, UK)
Other words that also made the list: Becoming, Bungalow, Conflate, Dulcet, Elixir, Glamour, Panacea, Ripple, Summery, Umbrella.
That’s a pretty comprehensive list, at least from the Lingoda team. What’s your favorite word in English?

Languages are very beautiful things, as we all know, and sometimes a phrase or word just strikes you as beautiful. So, post them here! You can do it in any language you want.
French:
I don’t know a lot of vocabulary in French, but I love the way ‘Ce dont j’ai besoin…’ rolls off the tongue (and rhymes too).
English:
I like the word ‘annexation’ right now… I can’t really explain why. ‘x’s are good I guess.

oooh ooh oooh!

«Franchement!» en français, (avec plusieurs sortes d’accents!)

En anglais, on n’a pas ni mot ni phrase tant copieuse que cela… c’est même mieux avec un bon «Ben» québécois avant….
Ben, franchement là!
je pourrais m’exprimer toutes mes émotions avec ce mot-là!

I love this » … , though»
To tell the truth, I don’t like this word, and it’s been very difficult for me to understand.
But, the fact is that mi amiga mejor, mi unicornio, always says that, and I like the way she does it… so now it is my favourite phrase…
In German I like this «ich auch» because the sound is terrible. For instance you say «Ich liebe dich» and then the other person says «Ich auch», but the sound of these words is so sharp -it sounds like an order, hee hee, that is kind of contradictory…well… it’s my opinion..(I hope this is well written, if not my friend Who will correct it, right Who…?)
In French I like «je ne sais pas» and «qu’est ce que vous cherchez?»… the sounds are mmmm….so smooth, so sweet…you put your lips in a certain position…
In Irish >>> Ble wyt ti isio mynd? I’r dafarn = Where are you going? To the pub…
and in my last acquisition…Italian… «cosa significa questa parola?»…

In German I like the way this sentences sound:
Uber natürlich — But of course
Uberhaubt nicht — Absolutely no way
Ich bin entaucht — I am disappointed
In Spanish I like:
Encarecidamente — earnestly
Alcachofa — Artichoke
In English I am more into monosyllabes, my favorites being:
Few
Bib
In Portuguese I like mostly all words but I will chose these 2 today
Allem — Beyond
Foz — Falls (as in the Iguaçu Falls)
And in Catalan I like
Pastanaga — Carrot
Now, psychologists, please proceed…
Cheers,

Yes, it’s funny. The same goes for ‘Gummiball (rubber ball)’ — also funny in English. The best German word is «Flummi» I don’t even know how to translate it. Maybe someone can.

![:thumbsup:]( "Thumbs Up :thumbsup:")
«Ich auch» is correct. I like to pronounce it, but as for «ich liebe dich — ich auch», I have to teach you it’s not the best way to say it. We Germans do it better: We add one more a ‘ch’ to make a finer pronunciation:
Ich liebe dich, mein Schatz. — Ich
dich
auch.
I love you, darling. — I love
you
, too.
The best English word ever created is Mississippi. And the best German word is Rehabilitation. I don’t manage its pronunciation. The best French one is «propriétaire», because that’s almost the first word I learned and it’s still hard to pronounce.

For sound and sense, the Portuguese word Saudade is a favorite.
In his book In Portugal of 1912, A.F.G Bell makes a few disquisitional remarks on the meaning of «saudade» given its intended context:
«The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness.»

Jeremy Sharpe said:

Yes, its true, but the word goes much farther than that…
Think about it, how often do you say frankly? Besides, you can also say «Etre frânche» to get that meaning. You could use franchement to mean, frankly: ie. Franchement, je pense que le bleu ne va pas avec le rouge.
However, franchement is often said as an expression when you’re surprised, confused, angry, etc, etc. The closest translations I can come up with, is a mixture of «for crying out loud», «what the heck» and «you can’t be serious»…. all rolled into one.
ie. «Il m’a dit que maintenant, il ne vient jusqu’a samedi… franchement!!»

I love the way the word «perception» sounds in English. I don’t like its equivalent in French, though. Maybe because one of its meaning is related to paying taxes!

Hi whodunit,
It’s funny you should ask that, because I actually had to check the spelling before writing it.
In my Oxford dictionary it says «gobbledegook», but looking in Google, there is at least one other variation. Take a look here: http://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-gob1.htm

I like the words:

and any word that is an esdrújula—for the musicality of it.
I like the word
esperanza
in Spanish. In English, hope can be quantified by the measure of hope the person hoping has in something. In Spanish, la esperanza means the waiting. It’s as if hope has transcended hopelessness, and is now a matter of waiting for what you hope for to come to pass. It’s a much stronger word than the English word hope.

Hi Art. I can’t blame you about not wanting to go to the pub with him …but funnily enough, «The Prince of Wales» is actually quite a popular pub name in the UK (you can have a look at the 10 most popular ones here: http://www.camra.org.uk/SHWebClass.ASP?WCI=ShowDoc&DocID=3607), so at least you could go to a pub with that name, without having to share his company.

My contribution will be in Spanish and Greek, guys.
A very dear person of mine was called in her youth
«El alacran dorado».
I not only like the sound, but I also find it poetical.

There are so many more I could think of…

It means the same here in the UK, at least that’s the only way I’ve heard it used. For example, «Pass me the doobry, will you?». I’ve even heard «doobry-whatsit» on a couple of occasions.

What is your favorite word to say?
Personally, I just love to say the word «thrill». It just rolls off your tongue, and I always listen after the word whenever I’m listening to a song. I know, it sounds weird, but I just love the word. I’m not sure when it caught my attention, but the word «thrill», can be phrased so beautifully when sung.

The word «fragrance» has a nice sound to it.

I went through a phase of saying «rancid» a lot, nowadays I keep saying «Rubbish!» at everything, i.e. «I’m rubbish!» or «Awh that’s just rubbish» etc. That, and BAH
I am not a man

It’s not a word though, but it should be.

I’ve had writer’s block for the past half year.
It sucks and it’s meant that I’ve missed deadlines and had to alter contracts and I doubted myself every minute of the day. It’s mostly mental illness and also some auto-immune disease stuff and I’ve been afraid to write anything about it because acknowledging it might make it real and permanent. (Yes, I realize this is crazy. I’m crazy. We match.)
But I start to slowly come back to having a brain that doesn’t actively want to kill me (I’M KNOCKING ON WOOD RIGHT HERE, LIFE. DONT FUCK ME.) and I can tell it’s working again because I wake up with words in my head. Like, literally a word will be stuck inside my mind. It taps around and says itself over and over until I write it down, and then I write more, and suddenly I have a paragraph.
It’s not a very good paragraph. It’s the first shaky walk you take to your kitchen to forage for food after a week of food poisoning, or the song that you can’t sing well because your vocal cords have forgotten how to work. But it’s better than where I was last week when I couldn’t remember a single melody and my feet went missing. This is a metaphor. Not a great one, but it’s a push that moves the rusty hinges and turns a useless broken wall into an almost door.
This might not make sense to you. That’s okay. Because it makes sense to me and that’s an incredible relief when you think your words are gone forever.
My words are still here. They’re trickling back in. Slowly, but I’m okay with that.
And to celebrate? A few of my favorite words:
Tintinnabulation ~ The lingering sound of a ringing bell that occurs after the bell has been struck
Gloaming – The moment of dusk that’s best for playing as a child. It isn’t so much a time as it is a place. You go for a walk in the gloaming.
L’esprit de l’escalier – (Technically not a single word, but it counts as one since it’s French and when I say it out aloud it sounds like one big, beautiful word.) The spirit of the staircase that tells you the witty thing you should have said when you were still in the conversation inside.
Cellar ~ It’s just pretty to say. You can smell the must, and feel the bright, wet cold on your face when you say it.
Baffled ~ me, all the time.
Unintelligible ~ You can’t say this word without sounding very smart. Unless you mispronounce it. Which is still fine because you can say you did it ironically on purpose.
Ethereal ~ I mispronounced this until I was 20. Even mispronounced it’s pretty.
Superstitious ~ This word is like a song. When I’m in a bad place I whisper it over and over, like a chant or prayer. It doesn’t have a meaning when I use it as a spell, but it pulls me out of my head. It’s hypnotic.
Hypnotic. I just remembered I like that one too.
Phosphenes ~ Those flashes of light and color that come out when you rub your eyes.
Dementophobia – The fear of insanity. The word sounds like falling down a spiral staircase…but gracefully.
Velociraptor. Happy. Discombobulated. Thundering. Vapid. Exploratory. Uninterrupted. Cylindrical. Elizabeth. Catastrophe. Bewildering. Grace. Kindling. Strangeling. Foundling. SWASHBUCKLING!
I’m back.
Your turn.
