I love this words because firstly I love French English words. They sound so exotic and they are so cool! And this word has such a nice meaning. It means an indefinable, elusive quality, especially a pleasing one. This word has a certain charm to it

Even though it is a Russian word (pronounced “Toska”) it is by far my favorite word. It comes in many degrees, and no English word can quite grasp it. At it’s strongest it is spiritual anguish (usually without a known cause), at lesser degrees it can mean a dull soul ache, a longing with [...]

I like the way this word sounds. It’s like two words put together. I like what it means too. I think I feel crestfallen a lot and that would be another reason it’s my favorite.

As a dream explorer myself, not only does this word define all that I strive for in my future and all my passion in doing what I love, but the word itself brings a smile to myself just by saying it. Sophisticated, yet simple, a word for all who love adventure.

Say it aloud, slowly at first, and then let it roll naturally. The word itself evokes images of beautiful places, yet remains somehow neutral or pure.

saying the word firms a sweet taste inside my mouth it reminds me of childhood
