The most beautiful word in the world has been chosen)))from 2500 words sent from 58 countries to "Kulturaustausch"German magazine...The winner is Turkish"yakamoz",the reflection of the moon in the water.TEBRIKLER!!!!!
Turkish word took over Chinese "hu lu"-snore and 'volongoto" IN South African Luganda language,which means "mess"
TEBRIKLER once more,btw what is the most beautiful word for you friends????

Hopihe - snowflake

YAKAMOZ is not reflection of any external light from the surface of the sea. Lights associated with YAKAMOZ are created by microorganisms, from within the sea.

The English word for YAKAMOZ is PHOSPHORESENCE.

My favorite word of all is from Japanese: WABI

WABI means "beauty of simplicity". I know of no orher language which ezpresses this profound concept in one single word.

Wabi-sabi describes the penultimate Japanese aesthetic of art that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. It is a beauty of things unconventional.

Word beauty pageant!? Interestingly enough when I started learning English my favorite word was "impossible" lol. I liked it before I even knew what it meant... . Right now I think that the most beautiful word is health / sağlık / zdrowie / Gesundheidt / salud - I don't exactly know why!

My favorite word cannot be written here without getting me in trouble!

According to a survey taken "Mum" is the most beautiful word in the English language. I wonder where this derived from.

Desire...
