It’s a bit of a worry that «No» is the 10th most chosen word, whereas «Yes» doesn’t even make the top 100.

You would say «There is no bread in the basket» but you wouldn’t say «there is yes bread in the basket» right?

Again being tricksy with the one word out of alphabetical order.

Hmm, that wasn’t the plan! Quiz updated.

A few years ago when I was studying for my Diploma in teaching English, I tried a small experiment with my class. I decided to look at what it was that made us like certain words so much. I even wrote about it on our old blog. Well, I thought it was high time we looked at this topic again so on the blog this week, I’m going to try the same experiment on you. Don’t worry, all you need to do is answer two simple questions, and try not to think about the answers for too long. If you’re ready then read on…

Question 1: What is your favourite word in your own language? 

Question 2: What is your favourite English word?

See, I told you it was simple.  What is interesting is why you chose the words you did.  It might be because of how the word looks written down.  It might be the sound of the word as you say it. It could be the feeling that you get about what the word represents. Or it could be something else completely.

It seems that I’m not the only person who is interested in this.  According to the website myfavoriteword.com, the ten most favourite words are as follows:

1.  Idiosyncratic

2.  Flotilla

3.  Defenestrate

4.  Justice

5.  Bilious

6.  Ennui

7.  Nevertheless

8.  Blubber

9.  Mooncalf

10. Sequoia

How many of the words do you know?  I’d never heard of mooncalf (see below for a definition).  My favourite on this list is sequoia, which is a huge tree found in California (see the picture above).  I love how it is pronounced and how it has all the vowels in it, including four-in-a-row.  It also reminds me of deep red colours and pictures I saw when I was a child of these enormous trees.

Which word is your favourite? Why?  Let me know and check the meanings below. As the sound of the word is important here, I’ve included some notes on how to say them too.  Enjoy!

By Andy

Building your vocabulary with some of the most common words used in the English language is a great start for your journey in learning this beautiful language.

Not only do these common words expand the English terminology that you know, but they also help you with your English conversation skills since they are indeed words that you hear others use everyday.

If you know 1,000 words, you will be between a functional beginner and conversational level in English.  In most of the world’s languages, 500 words will be more than enough to get you through any tourist situations and everyday introductions.

Using everyday common words are the most convenient way to learn English. The more you hear these words, the better it is for you to process and understand them.

And the more you use them, the stronger your English skills become. So it’s a great process of learning from others, and at the same time, learning from yourself, too!

Okay, time to share the list! Remember that with these 1,000 words you’ll be able to ask people how they’re doing, tell them about your day and navigate everyday life situations like shopping and public transit. But also keep in mind that native-like fluency, among many other things, requires about 10,000 vocabulary words.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Studies that estimate and rank the most common words in English examine texts written in English. Perhaps the most comprehensive such analysis is one that was conducted against the Oxford English Corpus (OEC), a massive text corpus that is written in the English language.

    In total, the texts in the Oxford English Corpus contain more than 2 billion words.[1] The OEC includes a wide variety of writing samples, such as literary works, novels, academic journals, newspapers, magazines, Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates, blogs, chat logs, and emails.[2]

    Another English corpus that has been used to study word frequency is the Brown Corpus, which was compiled by researchers at Brown University in the 1960s. The researchers published their analysis of the Brown Corpus in 1967. Their findings were similar, but not identical, to the findings of the OEC analysis.

    According to The Reading Teacher’s Book of Lists, the first 25 words in the OEC make up about one-third of all printed material in English, and the first 100 words make up about half of all written English.[3] According to a study cited by Robert McCrum in The Story of English, all of the first hundred of the most common words in English are of Old English origin,[4] except for «people», ultimately from Latin «populus», and «because», in part from Latin «causa».

    Some lists of common words distinguish between word forms, while others rank all forms of a word as a single lexeme (the form of the word as it would appear in a dictionary). For example, the lexeme be (as in to be) comprises all its conjugations (is, was, am, are, were, etc.), and contractions of those conjugations.[5] These top 100 lemmas listed below account for 50% of all the words in the Oxford English Corpus.[1]

    100 most common words

    A list of 100 words that occur most frequently in written English is given below, based on an analysis of the Oxford English Corpus (a collection of texts in the English language, comprising over 2 billion words).[1] A part of speech is provided for most of the words, but part-of-speech categories vary between analyses, and not all possibilities are listed. For example, «I» may be a pronoun or a Roman numeral; «to» may be a preposition or an infinitive marker; «time» may be a noun or a verb. Also, a single spelling can represent more than one root word. For example, «singer» may be a form of either «sing» or «singe». Different corpora may treat such difference differently.

    The number of distinct senses that are listed in Wiktionary is shown in the polysemy column. For example, «out» can refer to an escape, a removal from play in baseball, or any of 36 other concepts. On average, each word in the list has 15.38 senses. The sense count does not include the use of terms in phrasal verbs such as «put out» (as in «inconvenienced») and other multiword expressions such as the interjection «get out!», where the word «out» does not have an individual meaning.[6] As an example, «out» occurs in at least 560 phrasal verbs[7] and appears in nearly 1700 multiword expressions.[8]

    The table also includes frequencies from other corpora. Note that as well as usage differences, lemmatisation may differ from corpus to corpus – for example splitting the prepositional use of «to» from the use as a particle. Also the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) list includes dispersion as well as frequency to calculate rank.

    Словарный запас ― один из показателей уровня владения языком. Для того чтобы общаться на английском и понимать иностранцев, необязательно знать все 171 476 слова из Оксфордского словаря. Но тогда сколько?

    На сайте testyourvocab.com вы можете пройти тест на определение словарного запаса с погрешностью в ±10%. Он состоит из двух этапов и занимает всего пять минут. Согласно его данным, взрослый носитель показывает результат от 20 000 до 35 000 слов, а те, кто изучает английский, набирают от 2 500 до 9 000 слов. Такие результаты включают в себя как активную, так и пассивную лексику.

    Давайте узнаем, какие языковые возможности открывает тот или иной запас слов.

    1 000 слов позволяют понять около 80% повседневных разговоров. Зная 1 000 слов, вы можете говорить на простые темы: завести знакомство, совершить покупки в путешествии и не растеряться в общественном транспорте.

    5 000 слов позволяют понять около 98% большинства обычных текстов. Ваш уровень достаточно высок, чтобы понять значение незнакомых слов из контекста. С таким запасом слов вы можете жить и работать в англоязычной среде. Однако вам может быть нелегко четко сформулировать свою мысль в рамках узкоспециализированных тем.

    10 000 слов позволяют понять около 99% большинства текстов. Такого объема слов, как правило, достигают к уровню Proficiency. Это вершина изучения языка ― аналог словарного запаса выпускника колледжа. С таким количеством слов ваш уровень владения языком близок к уровню образованного носителя.

    В процессе изучения языка большие цели эффективнее разбивать на несколько этапов, поэтому предлагаем начать с 1 000 английских слов. Мы взяли за основу 1 000 самых употребляемых английских слов, разбили их на категории и дополнили словами, важными для повседневного общения и путешествий.

    1. Person (человек)
    2. Characteristics (характеристики)
    3. Time and Numbers (время и числа)
    4. Verbs and Lifestyle (глаголы и образ жизни)
    5. Food (еда)
    6. Animals and Nature (животные и природа)
    7. Events and Places (события и места)
    8. Home (дом)

    К словам даны:

    • американский вариант: colleague (AmE: co-worker)
    • форма множественного числа, если это слово-исключение: man (pl. men)
    • формы неправильных глаголов: speak (spoke – spoken)

    О том, какие приемы использовать для быстрого запоминания слов и как приучить себя их использовать в речи, вы можете узнать из нашего бесплатного вебинара «Как учить английские слова».
