The Angel of Eternity Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What are your favorite words (in any language)? If you list your words, but you remembered another word that you didn't list, always remember that there's nothing wrong with posting here again (or editing your original post). Also, there's no limit as to what you can put here. If your favorite word is vulgar and you'd still like to share it, I won't judge you. This will be a judgment-free zone to share words that tickle your fancy. My favorite words that currently come to mind are "steadfast", "bereft", "Jerusalem", "Salem", and "impending". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairdesklamp Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 My native, you're not supposed to be proud of speaking Japanese if you're actually Japanese. You *will* get screamed at it, even by very "liberal" Westerners who say they want to "help immigrants." But I'm so proud of my native language for two reasons: A. Gender neutral way to refer to someone, either name+honorific or "that person" are completely natural speech and considered polite. I'm binary male, but I'm very proud of that inclusion. (Even if the culture is gendered, most gendering in *speech* is self-gendering, not others-gendering. In fact, using "she" or "he" like you do in English sounds unnatural and marks you as non-native speaker!) B. The word for "gentrification" is 階級浄化, lit. class-cleansing. (Which over here, racism gets added to it) I love how my native calls it out head-on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
