Nuannaarpoq (the inordinate pleasure of being alive)
i first heard of this inuit (eskimo) word a few days ago. it means "taking an inordinate pleasure in being alive" or "the extravagant pleasure of being alive". either way it's such a beatiful word in both its form and meaning. wonderful people those eskimos who can come up with such an extraordinary word
so why not having a thread with our favorite words, any language: i'll start: *papillon (french word for butterfly) i love how it sounds *heliotropo. in spanish, heliotrope doesn't do it for me, dunno why *jalalabad. afghan city. i remember thinking how beautiful the names of those cities were and the only reason they were on the news was because they were being bombed *tajabone. another muslim word but this one is wolof (the language spoken in senegal) it's the name of a beatiful muslim tradition, or so i heard. anyway there's a song called tajabone also, so i guess that's why i like it so much
