Lástima. Definitivamente ninguna de las palabras de la lista es de mis favoritas.

Estoy de acuerdo en que luciérnaga es una palabra bonita.

Pues a mí me gusta "azul". ¿Qué es malevo? (Bueno, ya lo sé, lo he tenido que mirar en el diccionario). Nunca lo había oído. ¿Cómo pueden elegir una palabra que nadie usa? Suena a "malévolo".

They are Spanish words. It's a survey to know the favorite Spanish word. I think you'd have voted for "todoterreno"

No estoy seguro, pero creo que la palabra es estrúfalo. Muchas palabras que usan el estrúfalo( I need correction here --what I mean to say is words that stress the third-to-the-last syllable) destacan en español. Como escribió Sosia" muy chula". Libélula es un ejemplo con mucho bling-bling.

Ciénaga es otra con menos lustre. Sin embargo La Ciénaga Blvd es una avenida principal en Los Angeles que tiene un nombre especial. A pesar de que su significado es the swamp en inglés no suena nada ordinaria.

PS I have noticed that Spanish almost always sounds grander than English, and sometimes English incorporates Spanish to emphasize
grandure. example: extravaganza seems bigger than an extravagant
event.

Your commentary was very diplomatic but very useful, I liked the terms to you used before.

Now I have other ideas in the prefer words as for example.

Theses words.

Avestruz.

Azul.

Gato.

Perro.

Playa.

Duna.

I hope you can understand them.

La palabra que buscas es "esdrújula". Son las palabras que se acentúan en la antepenúltima sílaba.

...Y efectivamente, muchas de ellas tienen una sonoridad muy agradable.

Thank you. 1)I knew I hadn't gotten the word esdrújula correct 2)I didn't occur to me that I could place ante in front of penúlltima
(a fine example of the esdrújula) 3)sonoridad is a word I need to remember.

Jorge,
A mi me gusta avestruz, pero prefiero guacamayo

Esdrújula es una palabra esdrújula, pero sobresdrújula también es esdrújula (I'm joking ). Esdrújula también es bonita.

What about a beautiful vulture flying over our heads?

Una pregunta: ¿el guacamayo se come? No sé si te gusta el avestruz para verlo o para comerlo

*infarto*

¡¿Cómo que comerse un guacamayo?! Pobre criaturita.

Yo soy fanática de los loros, cacatúas, guacamayas, cotorros, etc.
...Por cierto, "perico" es una palabra muy bonita también.

Una pregunta: ¿el guacamayo se come? No sé si te gusta el avestruz para verlo o para comerlo
La siguiente receta está garantizada ganarla la fama que merece entre
tus amigos y invitados:
Fricasé de Guacamayo

Ingredientes
1 guacamayo recientamente muerto
1/2 de harina
1 cebolla
1 taza de vino blano (nada que no tomarías solo)
1/4 kilo de champiñones
ajo a su gusto
sal
y para tapar: unas hojas tiernas de estragon

Se recomenda un buen sarten pesado y un guacamayo robusto. Se puede decorar los platos con varias plumas del mismo pajaro para dar a sus invatados la idea que van a experienciar algo exótico y gourmet.
