    What is your most favorite Russian word and why?

    An american professor of mine told me that his favorite word was "собака". He didn't tell why. Perhaps it sounds funny. What is yours?

    "Блядь". Это очень веселый скажить. Или "побеждать". Да, мое любимое слово "побеждать".

    For some reason осторожно holds a comical connotation to it, so I'm rather partial to it. Also сельскохозяйственный because my Russian sucks but I was the only person able to say/spell that in my group -- and it sounds cool to boot. And of course anything with the word как, especially после того, как...
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    Хмм, я нравится "Злой" и "Волк".

    Почему? Well how would you say "I just like the way they sound" по-русски?

    I also have a few favourite words I hear in songs, a few from t.A.T.u for instance, but I can't recall them right now. The way they are sung has an influence also.
    Please correct any Russian language mistakes I make.

    С шапкозакидательством сложно, но технически, такого слова в русском языке нет. Есть фраза "Закидать шапками" which roughly means "to win easily".

    1) не исправил "инакомыслящий"
    2) опечатался с "dissident"
    3) что значит "технически"? Согласен, слово редкое для обыденной речи, но в русском языке оно существует. Mr. Ozhegov, кстати, его тоже знает.
