It's only words? Is that so?

There are a lot of languages in this world. Each of them has got their own characterstics and significance. Very often, I come across some words from different languages, that sounds good to ears. Sometimes, it's just the word that is good, and sometimes, it's the meaning and the context in which it is said, that makes you feel good about it. One of the words, which I really like is from my mother tongue 'Hindi'. It's called 'beta' meaning 'son'. I remember my father saying, 'Beta, how are you?', and it feels so good to hear that word from him; the word has got so much affection in it, that for me it is one of the sweetest sounding words. Traditionally, one is more close to his mother (at least boys are!). It is easy to express ones love for his mother, you can kiss her, and say all that you have in your heart. But there is always an element of hesitation attached, when it comes to expressing ones feeling for his father and vice versa. Don't know the exact reason, but I guess that, mothers are for love and fathers are for discipline! At times I feel that, all fathers make up a fake (or better said 'extra') disciplinary personality in front of their child (especially if he is a male), so that too much of love by both parents doesn't spoil the child. And whenever I hear the word 'beta' from my father, it makes me feel that my father in that word, has packed all emotions of love, care and affection that he has for me, which otherwise generally remains unexpressed. Some other words that I like are - 'subah' (dwan), 'mausam' (weather), and 'fursat' (leisure). All there are 'hindi' (or better said 'hindustani') words, which gives a very good feeling to the ears, and a soothing effect to the heart. That is it from my side. Now, I would like all of you to share a few words of your choice, the ones which you like, and tell me, what kind of feeling you get, when you hear those words. Hope we can make a little colletion of good words here. Cheers!
