favorite word in your own language

681 posts	I was just wondering... is there a word, in your own language, you really like, or think is really funny or anything special about it. I have this thing with the (dutch) word 'eigenlijk' ( means really/ in fact/ actually). From time to time I think it's a very silly word. * offtopic : and how do you write favo(u)rite? with or without 'u'? Can't remember and my dictionnary is out for a walk...

24,877 posts	my favorite in english is antidisestablishmentarianism, because it's so much fun to spell. In Spanish it's esperanza.

245 posts	I like the word "saudade", because it's unique; no country has a word that means the same thing! And it's also a beautiful feeling, if we know how to see and how to 'interpret' that. I like "amor" and "amizade", too... because love is usually a great feeling as well as friendship, isn't it?! The longest portuguese word is "otarrinolaringologista", I think...
