Hi mem286,

To answer your question, I think that we like certain words because they can release good feelings, nice memories in us or because they are tasty and sweet like a "tangerina" . The ones which we don't like much may be the opposite: they don't release any good feelings at all.

Some few words to add to the list:

In English: "Brotherhood", "Marvelous", "Knowledge"...
In French: I like all the "prises" and "mises" combinations . Sometimes, while I'm translating into my native language "ils me cassent bien la tête"... Such as "mise en état", "mise en examen", "prise de bec", "prise à partie"...
In Spanish: "Hermano", "Corazón", "Mirar"...
In Arabic: معلش (Ma'lesh) which means "never mind"; and أهلا وسهلا (Ahlan Wa Sahlan) which means "Welcome"...
In Portuguese: "Mágico", "Mar", "Amizade"...

And that's it, I'm out of words . Who's next?

Greets,


Faraó





PS: Yes, it is a very nice word, I think Portuguese feel it in a different way.
