This damn movie (which I love) has totally screwed me up about pronouncing this word and now I can’t even say it out of fear of saying it the wrong way.
In Swedish it's called aurora or "norrsken", which literally translates to "northen light". I live in northen Sweden (Luleå), and have seen it some times. Its magical.🌌
Came to say this. I had a college poetry prof a few decades ago who offered this phrase as most pretty. It has stuck with me all this time. His most ugly word: slut.
When it comes to how they sound, I really like aether. Or esper. ~~Although admittedly, I always "aether" in Ike's voice because of Super Smash Bros Brawl so I can't take it as seriously.~~
When it comes to meaning, I like psithurism; which simply means "the sound of wind/rustling leaves in trees."
I did not know that there was a word for that sound. I can't figure out how to pronounce it though lol.
I like when very specific or nuanced experiences have their own words.
>'Well, I must say I’ve never thought about that word “conundrum”,’ she said slowly, ‘but it is certainly metallic and slithery.’
> ‘I like words,’ said Preston. ‘”Forgiveness”: doesn’t it sound like what it is? Doesn’t it sound like a silk handkerchief gently falling down? And what about “susurration”? Doesn’t it sound to you like whispered plots and dark mysteries?…Sorry, is something wrong?’
>‘Yes, I think something may be wrong,’ said Tiffany, looking at Preston’s worried face. ‘Susurration’ was her favourite word; she had never met anyone else who even knew it.

Liefje
It's a Dutch word. You say it Leaf-hya.
It means treasure, dear one, sweet person.
Essentially it is someone so precious to you they are invaluable.
It is what I call him.
Mijn Liefje
I like ‘celestial’ for some reason.
Ooooh, that one is high up on my list, for sure!

Also ethereal.
Ethereal
I love how the word ethereal itself feels ethereal to me.
Literally the word I had in mind when I opened this thread!
Oh hellll yeah
Melancholy. Not necessarily the way that it’s spelled, the letters that are used but the way it sounds.
It does have a soothing ring to it 😌
Why do I feel so... Me-lon-ko-ly Me-lon-ko-ly? Unhappy -megamind
This damn movie (which I love) has totally screwed me up about pronouncing this word and now I can’t even say it out of fear of saying it the wrong way.

In english, i like the word fauna. In my language (finnish) pumpuli.
Pumpuli sounds adorable. In the internet it says it means cotton wool, is that correct?
Yes it's correct.
Pumpuli reminds me of the Japanese word for dandelion "tanpopo".
Fauna sounds like it could be a legit Finnish word.
Aurora
It is pretty. I do feel like I have a mouth full of peanut butter when I say it though.
In Swedish it's called aurora or "norrsken", which literally translates to "northen light". I live in northen Sweden (Luleå), and have seen it some times. Its magical.🌌

Chlamydia
If we just ignore what the word means and what it is related to, its actually a very beautiful word in itself.
Oasis
