Early this year La Escuela de Escritores made a poll to know what was the most beautiful word in spanish.
Most of you guys have learned or are in the process of learning spanish.. I was just curious what would be the most beautiful word in spanish for you...
"my" wordS would be:
- esperanza (hope) not only for what it means but for its sound... so soft...
- fantasmagórico... creepy... hahahahahahaha
AND
- Hola
what about yours?
Gabo
=D

tuco99 says on Aug 20, 2007, 20:01: I think that if the word has an "ñ" its a big plus. So, my vote goes to "mañana", easy, positive, optimistic, sounds good, and you can give it a full meaning yourslef.
