Hi Yours_truly

I don't have a specific favourite word. Indeed what my favourite word today may be quite different tomorrow.

Just at this moment I like:

Banana, which "... is s an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. ..."*

* As quoted from my quick google search

Hi Croix, great word; I think many people will relate.

Hi mmMekitty,

I definitely love the morphology of banana!! It’s such a funky word and of course I get that favourite words change all the time. Especially when you learn a new word and it just sticks with you!

Another favourite word of mine is 'courage'.

It means to me to have the determination to go ahead & do something even while feeling fearful or anxious or embarrassed or shy or shameful or guilty or lacking confidence or skill or power or knowing it may well be dangerous, but you know you must for good reasons, put yourself forward & say or do what you need to do, despite any or all of those feelings & beliefs. It's doing it anyway.

I also like the word 'feisty'; something I could aspire to manifest within & express when appropriate feistiness is called for.

Maybe it's a little more than 'assertiveness', while not outright aggression, however, there are circumstances where polite assertiveness won't do.

Another word I like is:

"Syzygy : the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies (such as the sun, moon, and earth during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational system" [Miriam Webster dictionary]

Doesn't it look & sound pretty?

My favourite word for this week is the French word Chocolat

pronounced as, 'show-ko-lah’

Going back over my high school French. I absolutely love this language.

Whimsical

Meaning something along the lines of curious, quirky, unusual and lightly fanciful or mysterious. I have always liked this word for some reason. I like the sound of it and what it means. It is almost a word unto itself because it is hard to put into words what it means. I associate it with interesting people, songs, movies, creations etc with an air of wonder about them. It feels like it links to the imagination.

I also did French in high school!! I still remember a thing or two, but maybe I should go over it too :))

Now this is a word I should start adding to my daily vocabulary. Isn’t it such a magical word?
