¿Cuál es tu palabra favorita?

Question

Please provide a translation for your favorite word. And why...

My favourite word currently is: Jueves - Thursday. I like the pronunciation of the word, the J and the V making it sound totally different to what it looks like.

Answer 1

Nunca is my favorite word and it means "never".

I don't know why I like it. It's just one of those words that captured my attention early on.

Answer 3

"amigdalitis" (tonsillitis) and pantuflas (slippers) are my favorite words. Why? They just sound soooo fun! for you cat lovers out there, wouldn't "Pantuflas" be a cool name for a cat?

Answer 4

Encantado. It's so cool and charming

Answer 5

Me encanta la palabra "fuego"

Answer 6

Me gusta la palabra "el murciélago". Se significa "bat"

I believe this is the only Spanish word that uses all of the vowels in one word. I might be wrong but I think so.

I like it because it sounds so suave and cool. It literally rolls off my tongue.

Answer 9

Cabrahigar: To improve a fig-tree; that is, to string up some male figs, and hang them on the branches of the female fig-tree, to make it produce better fruit.
