I don't really have one. - Matjam, May 4, 2016

Answer 1

Carcajadas = Uncontrolled laughing.

I like the word and what it represents. To me one of the most pleasing sounds is children laughing uncontrolably.

Gringo, I agree with you that the sound of children laughing is lovely. :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Answer 2

What is your favorite word in English?

How is it possible have a favorite word?

That's what I was thinking but I personally like the sound of human language in general even if I don't understand the word. - Jubilado, May 4, 2016

Answer 3

I like the hard guttural sounds that j and sometimes g make in words like Cartagena, Juarez, ojalá, generalmente. Long words that end in mente like inevitablemente.

Yes, and principalmente :) - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

impermeabilizante. I hate this word. It is like a tongue twister. - gringojrf, May 4, 2016

@gringojrf: a mí tampoco no me gusta. Me gusta pero es difícil pronunciar la palabra espeluznante. - Jubilado, May 4, 2016

Answer 4

gustar (to like, because it has a positive sound).

Answer 5

I also have so many favourite words in Spanish lol I also completely agree with Julian, how can you (one/a person) choose just one?!!! It's not possible...hahaha!

Some of my favourites include: quizás, (perhaps) querer (to love, to want and to wish) estupendo (wonderful) embrazar (to hug) ,besar (to kiss), cariñoso (A term of affection /endearmente meaning: honey, or love) etc....

I also love the colloquial expresssion: ¿Qué tal estás? = How are you doing?

I love all these words because I like the sounds of them!

También tengo muchísimas palabras favoritas en español lol Estoy completamente de acuerdo con Julian ¿cómo se puede elegir solo una palabra favorita? ¡No es posible...jajajaja!

Algunas de mi favoritas incluyen: quizás, (perhaps) querer (to love, to want and to wish) abrazar (to hug) besar (to kiss) cariño (Un apelativo cariñoso que significa : honey, or dear) etc....

Me encanta también la expresión coloquial: ¿Qué tal estás? = How are you doing?

Me encantan todas estas palabras porque me gustan los sonidos de ellas.

abrazar* (to hug) cariño (dear, honey) - DanielV, May 5, 2016

Answer 6

Lobo or wolf. for the reason that I am fascinated by them.

I also find them interesting, at a distance lol I spent some time watchng some wolves moving about in an enclosure in Barcelona zoo a few years ago! I am more inclined to trust dogs The closest I would get to trusting a wolf would be if I had a Husky (dog - FELIZ77, May 4, 2016

Answer 7

I have several favorites words if that is possivel (to have more of one). For example Cartomante= fortune-teller (who uses cards) Algarabía=gibberish (Etimology mean "from Arabian language" and then words or sounds unsence because the spanish don't understood)

This words don't use commonly.

Greetings.

Corrections to English: favorite words.... is possible (to have more than one). (Etymology means... sounds that make no sense because the Spanish... understand). These words aren't used.... - Jubilado, May 4, 2016
