Anybody have a favorite Japanese word(s)?

Does anyone have a favorite Japanese word(s)?
みなさんの日本語の好きな言葉は何ですか?
(Mina-san no nihongo no suki na kotoba wa nan desu ka?)

for me it is ピカピカ (pika pika) which means "shiny"
and one I just learned recently 食いしん坊 (kuishinbou) which means "gluttonous or fatty"
XD
Anyone else?

My favorite word is definitely 救済者(Kyuusaisha) because it is the direct translation of my name (which is Salvador, meaning "savior").救世主 (Kyuuseishu) is also used, but is used in more of a religious context like in a reference to Christianity. is more of a general meaning.

今、私の好きな日本語の言葉は「ニャー」と「にゃん子」だっと思う。「ニャー」と英語の言葉「meow」は同じ、でも、「ニャー」はもっとかわいいでしょう。「にゃん子」は日本俗語の代わりに日本語の「子猫」、そうして、英語の言葉「kitten」と同じです。

Ima, watashi no sukina Nihongo no kotoba wa [nyaa] to [nyanko] datto omou. [nyaa] to Eigo no kotoba [meow] wa onaji, demo, [nyaa] wa motto kawaii deshō. [nyanko] wa Nihonzokugo no kawari ni Nihongo no [koneko], sōshite, Eiga no kotoba [kitten] to onaji desu.

Right now my favourite Japanese word would be either "nyaa" or "nyanko". Nyaa is the same as 'meow' in English, but nyaa is cuter (^-^). "nyanko" is a Japanese slang word for "koneko", which is also 'kitten' in English.

Emily-さん、こにちは。シアと言います。一つ聞きたいことがあるんですけど、もちろん答えなくていい。じゃ質問は「日本語がどのぐらい習いましたか」。Emily-sanは日本語が上手だから。

よろしくお願いします。

うわああ、シアさん、よろしくおねがします!
私の日本語はまだまだですよね。特に漢字は私がちょっと難しいだから。日本語は四年勉強すると思う。私はわすれちゃったね。えーと、その漢字「答と願も」はまだ見えないからどうして読むんですか?じゃ、お元気で。

おへんじを楽しいみにしています。 :)

Emily-さん、こんにちは。お元気ですか。返事をありがとう。その漢字の読み方は下記だから見てください:
1) 答 in 答え is 「こた」. 「答え」は「answer」と言う意味です。
2) 願 in 願い is 「ねが」. ただ「願い」は「wish」と言う意味ですけど、「よろしくお願いします」はちょっと違うでしょう。

Emily-さん、「Emily」ってカタカナで何ですか。

I just started learning japanese, so my vocab is still limited, but my favourite word so far is ainiku = unfortunately.
It always cracked me up, because I always visualized as "there is a cat", since "hay" means "there is" in spanish, and "niku" means "cat"

"neko" means "cat" and "niku" means "meat" ;)
