Your Favourite Word, Please.

My favourite word is 'Nihil', a Latin word which means 'nothing'. What is your favourite word and what does it mean? It could be from any language which may not necessarily be your mother tongue(as it is in my case).

My favorite word(s) would be the courtesy words - Please, Thank you, I'm Sorry - Courtesy is something not seen often these days and much appreciated when I do see it.

And I remember my stint with customer service. I always say please, thank you, and empathy.

I agree with you on the subject of courtesy. On most of the occassions nowadays, when these words are used, they sound the way they're supposed to.

@jobelbojel My brother used to work in a call centre. He said that these words had become a necessity of his work life.

NO when my kids were little. That is what they told me anyway.

I think many kids and former kids would say that of their parents.

@Nihil90 They both are important when speaking . We have to use words that are appropriate and can't hurt any sensitivities .

So the manner in which you speak is more important to you than the word itself I believe.

I see you've used 'nihil' in your 'signature' or whatever it is they call it. I don't think I have a favourite word. 'Chocolate' is a pretty good one.

Yes. You can say that my love for the word is not for nothing . Interesting choice of word(even if it's not your favourite).

Do you use them both at the same time or one word at a time?

I don't have in particular. But I like those words I haven't heard of before.

So a word looses its charm as soon as you come to know of it.

One of may favorite words is "pathos," which means something along the lines of the sadness/humility/joy/raw emotion of the human condition. Another favorite is "yes," "oui," "da," "si," "ken."

I am reminded of one of the dialouges of the film 'V for Vendetta': "Voila! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate."
