You have to work to get it out properly. Its almost like an ‘amuse guele’. It’s simply fun.

Tintinnabulation

I love the it rolls off of my tongue. It also elicits many questions from my students as to it’s meaning. I encourage them to look it up and come back later and tell me what it means. Since I teach band I quite often experience tintinnabulations.

I just love the way the word kind of rolls off the tongue. It’s almost instrumental.

It’s such a light word, involving such delicate tongue movements. It makes me think of brightness and lightness/airy-ness — like sun through clouds, “angel ladders”. Very pretty!

You can’t think about what this actually is when you’re saying it … just think about the word! It reminds me of Shakespeare for some reason … like Prospero, except more Italian-sounding.
