  • That's a very interesting question. There are so many English words that I find fascinating and beautiful, but if I had to choose one, I would say my favorite word is serendipity. Serendipity means "the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way". I like this word for several reasons: • It sounds pleasant and elegant, with its four syllables and its soft consonants. It also has a nice rhythm and rhyme, as it ends with the same sound as "city" or "pretty". • It has a rich and colorful history, as it was coined by the English writer Horace Walpole in 1754, based on a Persian fairy tale called "The Three Princes of Serendip". The story is about three princes who go on a quest and encounter many unexpected and fortunate discoveries along the way. It captures a universal and magical experience, as we all have moments in our lives when we find something good or valuable that we were not looking for.

  • My favourite would be the word “Stoked” meaning to be excited or euphoric. I love this word because I’m Australian and this is a word is typically used a lot back home. Especially in surfing culture! 🏄🏼‍♀️🤙🏽
