Yes, and it's relatively easy...you just open your mouth and then don't have to change vowels until the end! It´s one for which I might even someday be able to ge the "b" right! - Janice, Aug 22, 2009

Answer 1

Okay I had my answer all ready then changed my mind reading what y'all have to say!

original answer: baul... it's just fun to say.

new answer: limpiaparabrisas (windshield wiper) I like the way it's put together from other words

other new answer: cachivache (knick-knacks, clutter... doesn't it sound like it?!)

and I like Eddy's word, too!

Answer 2

Every time a post like this comes up I can´t resist putting

otorrinolaringólogo

whaaaat? I wouldn't even know how to say that! - NikkiLR, Aug 22, 2009

"E N T" in English seems a lot easier - randomraccoon, Aug 22, 2009

well, that sure is a mouthful. :) - Theet, Aug 23, 2009

(: you got that right. has anyone ever loved the words el quarto de bano. (: - Leahmariee, Aug 23, 2009

Answer 3

I like the words for popcorn...

Palomitas, pochoclo, rositas de maíz y poporopo.

Acá les llamamos pipocas :P - nelson_rafael, Jan 7, 2012

Answer 4

My favorite word in Spanish is "zanahoria", because it is so different sounding than what it means in English!

Mi palabra favorita en Español es "zanahoria", porque suena tan diferente de lo que significa en Inglés!

Answer 5

I like chimichurri....

its a type of sauce. i cannot roll my r´s though

I used to walk along the street practising them, people thought I was the village idiot I think. - ian-hill, Aug 25, 2009

Jaja, Solía hacer eso también. - NikkiLR, Oct 6, 2009

Answer 6

Does "Penelope Cruz" count as a word?

Maybe, but I believe she's Brazilian so it would be a Portugese word. - Yeser007, Aug 25, 2009

omg....Penelope BRAZILIAN!! :S She is one of our most famous international actresses. - 00494d19, Aug 27, 2009

Answer 7

As mentioned in a comment, I like "trabajando" but I really like all those words that have sounds different from the ones we have in English words...."agua," as hohmann11 noted in a prior entry. Yes, the "g's", the "j". Not the "h", of course, but maybe I had better be careful and not end up otherwise writing out the whole alphabet

And, oh yes, I might make an exception for those words that have that difficult b/v sound in them:-( Those words are just too frustrating! I wonder if I would ever be able to speak fluent Spanish and yet manage to avoid them....

Answer 8

Cachivache and limpiaparabrisas...fantastic! I've written those ones down ...Mmm..can't wait 'till I get to use them... Annie.

Answer 9

Ronronrea Mi gatto roronrea My cat purrs.

ooo yeah I forgot about that one. That's my other other favorite. :) - Valerie, Aug 23, 2009

ronronrea... jaja... that one is pretty good :) - NikkiLR, Aug 23, 2009

Answer 10

Some fun words that just popped into my head:

• Adelante
• Maestro
• Lejos

Answer 11

Me encanta decir "miércoles."

I love to say wednesday.

Answer 12

Cachivache is a fun one, allright. Along the same lines, I love a word that is widely used in Venezuela: "Guarandinga".

It's one of those wonderful generic "thing" words: ¿Qué guarandinga es esa?, ¿para qué sirve esa guarandinga?, ¿A dónde vas con esa guarandinga?

It can even be an odball, custom-made Frankenstein type of vehicle:

Answer 13

My favorite is "encantada"

encantada = Enchanted

Answer 14

Me gusta "Cachorro".

That one is good too. - NikkiLR, Oct 6, 2009

Answer 15

I like the word Amor! I would say my favorite word but it's silly so I won't say it! :-D

hann, you can say it as long as it is not rude. - 00494d19, Sep 8, 2009
