--------------------
There's a ton of others that I currently haven't learned the meaning of yet. ![]()
But what are your favorites?
1 – SpikyEaredPichu96Haha, what a cool thread idea!
I really like the word Metchka in Croatian, meaning cat (I think).
And ya can't really beat the classic omelette au fromage from Dexter's Lab.
The rest is just a bunch of Japanese words I learned in High school.
Baka: fool
Tonndemonai: "No way!"
Shimatta/Kuso:"Darn it/Crap!"
English:
"Ambiguous" (not clear in meaning): added bonus that nobody I know knows what this one means.
Italian:
"Dimenticare" (to forget): it's been so long since I sat in an Italian class that I've forgotten what I liked about that word, but apparently whatever it was good enough to be one of my alternate usernames in several web sites.
Japanese
Renkinjutsushi (Alchemist <3333). Pretty much the only long Japanese word I know by heart.
Italian
Vecchio (Old)
Pomodoro (Tomato, my favorite thing)
Sognare (To dream)
Ciao (Hello, Goodbye)
Attaccato (Attached)
English
Superfluous (more than necessary)
Ingenuity (cleverness)
Discombobulated (Confused)
Fluffernutter (PB&M)
English
Anarchy (extreme disorder/without government)
Melancholy (deep sadness)
Ludonarrative Dissonence (the disconnect between the player and the character)
Kerfuffle (fight or disturbance)

-ABSTENTIOUS (not indulging in excess)
1 – Armed FloatzelOld Norse
Fenrisulfr: meaning Fenris Wolf, the beast destined to devour Odin. It also sounds like sulfur when you slur the syllables.
Gjöll: meaning scream.
Dovahzul
Sovngarde: Skyrim's equivalent of Valhalla, where slain warriors go after death to feast and spar for eternity. Although it isn't clear whether this word is actually in Dovahzul or not, it is definitely fun to say, especially quickly. S'vingaard!
Kruziik: meaning ancient, make sure to roll the r and the z can be pronounced as if German, so more like a ts sound.
German
Feuer: meaning fire.
2 – SpikyEaredPichu96, DragoniteEnglish:
- ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM (Political position that originated in 19th-century Britain, opposes proposals for the disestablishment of the Church of England)
