what is the most beautiful english word

[トラちゃん1]

antidisestablishmentarianism, you would be hard pressed to use this in a legit sentence. Plus it is fun to say.

Good fun words to describe something:

1. eccentric
2. intriguing
3. interesting
4. speculative.

Those words are very Lt. Cmdr Data. ... Fascinating. lol

Here's a couple of words I like because they are like combining several adjectives in to one:
Tenacious /テネイシェス/ (adj) stubborn+persistent+fierce
Intrepid /エンチュレペヅ/ (adj) fearless+quick+rapid+immediate+with importance/purpose


And then there's the word "irony /アイロニー/", who's definition is one of the most debated.
Some say it's sarcasm (ex: calling a stupid person a "brain champion")
Some say it's a contrsast between something normally expected and what actually occurs, usually as a form of comedy (ex: An 'indestructable' tank suddenly exploding after being hit by a single rain drop)
Some say it's like a trick ending to a seemingly predictable story (ex: Finding out that Bruce Willis was actually dead the whole time in the movie Sixth Sense)
Some say it's all of the above.

LOL!

I think the same could be said of "floccinaucinihilipilification" !

ﾆ淡ﾆ停?｡ﾆ停?

 

[Revenant]

I got a new word too.
Wraith
Sounds nice because of the th at the end and yet it means (from Wikipedia) an apparition of a person who is still alive, seen as an omen that the person is about to die.

That's an awesome word, and it is my handlename at a few other forums. Good choice!

Wraith.............yep, it's nice.............Wraith...........Wraith.........I like saying Wraith........

The most beautiful English word? That's tough 'cause frankly I don't think English is a very beautiful language. So I don't really have a "most beautiful word" but I do have a favorite and it is: Serendipity.

I think the same could be said of "floccinaucinihilipilification"!

Isn't that used in a CM? lol

My third grade teacher made me write that word a hundred times once as a punishment.

Here are a couple of my favorite words:

hallucinogen
germanium
exaltation
incendiary
psychoanalysis
analytical
pseudonym
crucifix
and last but certainly not least:
cat

Star: Its a simple word, but it certainly can have so many meanings like Hope, Dream or peace....In my personal opinion is even a sign of accomplishing what you are fighting for and of knowing there is something beyond your imagination.

Im sorry for being so poetic but thats what I think

窶堙??堙??堙?窶禿岩?昶?吮?堋｢ﾅ陳ｾ窶杯窶堙債「Fundamentalﾂ」窶堋ｾ窶堙ｦ窶堙銀?堋ｦﾂ！

What is the root of that word? Mental? Then the prefix is... funda?! what in the world is a funda. I love it.

My favorite words just because so many english people spell/pronounce them wrong, in that sense they are beautiful

And then there's the word "irony /ﾆ但ﾆ辰ﾆ陳哉男ﾂー/", who's definition is one of the most debated.
Some say it's sarcasm (ex: calling a stupid person a "brain champion")
Some say it's a contrsast between something normally expected and what actually occurs, usually as a form of comedy (ex: An 'indestructable' tank suddenly exploding after being hit by a single rain drop)
Some say it's like a trick ending to a seemingly predictable story (ex: Finding out that Bruce Willis was actually dead the whole time in the movie Sixth Sense)
Some say it's all of the above.

Irony isn't sarcasm or just bad luck. Alanis Morisette sings in her song 'Ironic', 'ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife', but that isn't irony, its just bad luck.
Irony would be throwing ten thousand spoons away when you need a knife, then finding out a spoon would be fine in the first place.
I stole that quote from somewhere. Irony is such a difficult term to explain.

incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs

So your last definition is probably the best. But youve ruined the film for me, AllMakesCombined

Was he really dead?! I haven't seen the movie... but I'm going to someday

Okay, for an interesting word... hmmmmm, let's see... how about Thaumaturgy? (from the Greek words thaumos meaning "miracle" and ergos meaning "work")
