Giulianzo's Plato’s Academy of Florence and the Confraternity of the Magi discussion

Which words from languages other than your own are your favorites? Also, which languages are they from? And what do they mean?

Personally, I just love words for "butterfly." For example, the French word is papillion and the Spanish one is mariposa. They both have a certain ring to me...

In fact, I found a website on how to say "butterfly" in different languages. I really like some of them. :)

This is stupid but try putting ' ......... ' in Google Translate from English to Japanese and play the sound of it. It's hilarious!!

My favorite foreign word is "sopraciglia" which means eyebrow in Italian :)
I also like Schauspieldirektor which means Impresario or opera protégé in German.

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte!!

What does that mean?

Black Forest cake

That's awesome! I love it!!

It's pronounced shvatz-vader keeshe-tauter!

That's awesome still!
