Hmm, not to sound emo or anything, but one of my favourite words would be "despondency"...
Despondency - Depression of spirits from loss of hope, confidence, or courage; dejection.
Pain, torment, torture, agony, misery, martyrdom, decadence, those are also good words... Words such as these describe feelings we all know, and those feelings allow us to create immense beauty in the form of art, poetry, photography, writing, etc. That is why I see these words as beautiful... I've drawn my most beautiful pictures when I was in pain, written my best poems during times of depression, and written my best short stories, scripts, etc. from agony and misery... Everytime I try to create art when I'm happy, it never turns out as well. Heh, don't think I'm some suicidal kid who hates life, I'm not; I love life, and suicide, that thought never crosses my mind, I just get upset alot from different aspects of life. Music especially, makes me cry, or hurt inside, and thats when I start drawing or writing... even my most favourite singer makes me cry :relief: so yeah... Thats just my opinion, so if youre an optimist, ignore everything I just said :relief:

Totally off the top of my head...
Infinitesimal
Irrevocable
Metonymy
Apotheosis
Aesthetic (ironic? I think the Greeks simply knew how to create beautiful words)
Myriad
Manifest
Opaque/opacity
Antithetical
Quintessential
Transfix
Ineffable
Ineluctable
Ok I could go on forever...I guess I like Greek words. And although I consider Latin to be an ugly language, I consider many of its words beautiful

Salvation, for its meaning and sound.
Pain, torment, torture, agony, misery, martyrdom, decadence, those are also good words...
Wooooonderful, indeed! ;-) Do I guess right if I say that "wonderfull" itself is not one of your favourite word? ;-)

mine is
inevitable
adjective
Definitions:
unavoidable: impossible to avoid or to prevent from happening
noun
Definitions:
something certain: something that is certain to happen
deciding to accept the inevitable
[15th century. < Latin inevitabilis "not avoidable" < evitare "shun"]
like the meaning of it, and the pronounciation!!! got it from the MATRIX :blush:

Reverence.
Because it rolls simply and beautifully off the tounge, in a soft simple yet elegent sound.
Also its meaning is a noble one.

nah, wonderful is overused on stupid things, its lost its meaning =/ so has the word pain, like when stupid people complain that their head hurts and theyre gonna die from pain :D:D:D they dont even know what pain is :okashii: but the other words, oh boy, do I love them or what?! :lol:

It depends if its the beauty of the word itself (combinations of letters), the pronuciation (and which one), or the meaning of the word. I suppose that it is a bit of the three. In any case I can't single any particular one out. It's much easier for me to rank whole languages according to their beauty. But there are just too many words in each of them to think of a more beautiful one !

Hmm, when thinking of the beauty of words, I think purely of the sound and not the meaning (although I am probably subconsciously thinking of the meaning too :? ). I like:
razzle
decimate
keg
sarcophagus
ululation
kickback
twang
riff
waffle
corrosion
kaleidoscope
calibrate
zoom
crank
parentheses
cosh
sleazoid (ok ok, so it was invented by Dir en Grey... :bluush: but it's still a cool word, don't you think?)

Amnesia Partial or total loss of memory, usually resulting from shock, psychological disturbance, brain injury, or illness. (just like the word, and the cLUB )
MeAndroo
Sep 21, 2005, 15:51
Supercilious
adj 1: having or showing arrogant superiority to and disdain of those one views as unworthy; "some economists are disdainful of their colleagues in other social disciplines"; "haughty aristocrats"; "his lordly manners were offensive"; "walked with a prideful swagger"; "very sniffy about breaches of etiquette"; "his mother eyed my clothes with a supercilious air"; "shaggy supercilious camels"; "a more swaggering mood than usual"- W.L.Shirer [syn: disdainful, haughty, lordly, prideful, sniffy, swaggering] 2: expressive of contempt; "curled his lip in a supercilious smile"; "spoke in a sneering jeering manner"; "makes many a sharp comparison but never a mean or snide one" [syn: sneering, snide]
Antithesis

2 great words I attempt to use whenever possible.

uxoriousness - excessively fond of or submissive to a wife
I once wrote a paper on 'The Folly of Uxoriousness' and I just loved saying the word...
Obscure - Deficient in light, dark, Out of sight, hidden, Not readily noticed or seen
It's one of the first english words I learned and I love those meanings of it.

Good fun words to describe something:
1. eccentric
2. intriguing
3. interesting
4. speculative.
I think my favorite word in the English language would have to be, maybe.
My recent favorite quote of mine: i'm going to become an omnipotent megalomaniac elitest
lol.
Sensuikan-san: I'm glad someone understands me! *feels all understood* :-)
Anjusan: cool! I'd never even heard of that word. And even better... it has an X in it. I love the letter X!
I think my favorite word in the English language would have to be, maybe.
Aha, so you go by meaning rather than sound? Hey that gives me an idea for 'learning Japanese' question I want to know...
I also rather like the phrase 'narcissistic misogynist'. :smug: :D

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.

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

As a Japanese person, all the words that include both of the letters "L" and "R" such as "library" and "literal" sound cool to me, since it seems almost impossible for me to pronounce them properly.
But I would like to say my favorite English word is "chillax", a slang word made of the words "chill" and "relax". I learned it from my American online friend and thought it's so kakkoii! (And I guess I really need to chillax sometimes.)
Oh by the way, I just registered here today and this is my very first post. Although I'm not a student, I've been learning English online and have been really enjoying it. It takes me kinda long time to read the posts written in English here but I'll gambaru yo! よろしくね〜!m(_ _)m *bow:bow: :bow:

Read this poem aloud:
Cargoes
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.
Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
With a cargo of diamonds, Emeralds, amethysts,
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,
Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
With a cargo of Tyne coal, Road-rails, pig-lead,
Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.
John Masefield (1878-1967)

Wow! Those are actual words :mad: a little too long for me...
My favorite english word would be "dysphoria", "dystopia", "utopia", and
"anthrax" okay some of those word's meanings aren't so cheerful:relief: But I like how they sound when you say them.
Also, generally speaking any word with the letter A is word I like... I also like names with A in them.... :hihi:

The most beautiful English word?
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO M!
I like words with X in them. :hihi: At the moment a word I'm liking is 'proximity'. :-) :D
I'v always liked the word "hemisphere" for how it sounds and the meaning of it. And, some words you use when you talk about space like, Universe,Galaxy,
Gravity are I think beautiful.

austere (rarely comes up in conversations with the general public, but I've whipped it out a few times)
infinity (plus I like the symbol for it)
and the ever useful EPIPHANY!
I also like the word "quixotic". :p

Pleasure...it's a beautiful word and just sounds good.
I do like the word perhaps as well; it works very well when you have to give an answer and you don't want to be stuck with either yes or no.
