What's the prettiest word, to you?

I'm a fan of ember and azure, and willow and autumn. I like words that are colors, like auburn.

What do you mean by pretty?

The words that ring clear in your mind, of course!

Um, okay! I like finesse, diligence, relentless, and finish. :D

Lots of names come to mind...As for words, probably something like euphoric, flow, cascade.

Urchin, cleave, cradle, busted, dutchess, sensational. Oh, and fabulous of course.

Does it matter if they're English? I really like the way superlatives sound in Latin ~ laetissima, pulcherrima, novissimus~

Bourgeoise. It's a sociological term for the ruling class.

Hmmm... 'sentimental' and 'amethyst' come to mind. I'll think of more later.

Why has no one said Chlamydia yet? It's a very pretty word ignoring the meaning.

Also, I'm a big fan of "jus d'orange" in French.

mine is actually a female name. it doesn't matter how it's spelled, as long as it's spoken the same way. I have ALWAYS loved the name 'Sarah'

rubah. ruuuuuuuuuuuubah. I love saying her username!

EDIT: Although it's more 'fun' than 'pretty'.

i wouldn't say it's pretty, but obsequious is fun to say :bigsmile:

i also like onomatapaeia, but that's also not pretty

What, nobody's said 'psyche' yet? :p

I like the following:

Utopia
Pegasus
Castor
Nemesis
Ticonderoga
Chinaman
Callipygian
Octopodes

And many more~

I like the word Weekend.

i'm writing this in both the 'Prettiest Word' and 'Ugliest Word' threads, because it applies to both :D

often, our perception of a word is based entirely off its meaning (eg. 'Weekend' :p), and although there's no real problem with that, i don't think that's what the topic is asking (even though i'm pretty sure i did it too :tongue:)

Oh, also, focusing on the alphabet, my favourite word to write is "Life" in cursive. My two favourite letters ("L" and "f") are well spaced and evenly balanced to me in this word.

Seriously, lots of French loan words are "pretty" to me. Like cinematheque, baguette and ménage à trois. :p

I currently really like the word jaunty.
