German Words I Have Fallen in Love With

It was a funny thing. After a lifetime of not even considering learning German, in the summer of 2012 I fell in love with German at first speaking. You have to know how to pronounce German to love it, I think. It has what I would call a great "mouthfeel." Every language leaves its own impression on me, and when I speak German I feel deep, emotional and powerful simultaneously. I also feel smarter, oddly.* My vocabulary in German is still pretty limited. I can have some quite basic conversations - mainly involving what I would and would not like to eat, describing certain things and briefly introducing my job, country, etc. I can also say some pretty random things like "Ich habe sieben Enten" which will certainly come in handy if I ever have a farm. But here are some of my absolute favorite words in German, so far:

Der Vogel - the bird. When I say this word, I feel like it catches the spirit of a bird, somehow. Pronounce it here:  https://www.duolingo.com/comment/369803

Wichtiger - more important. "Wichtig" means important and is itself a great word. But "wichtiger" is awesome. It sounds like a great indie band or a cool animal that is half-witch/half-tiger. https://www.duolingo.com/comment/354592

Das Schlafzimmer - bedroom. Not only is this word sensible "schlafen" = to sleep, "zimmer" = room, but it sounds AMAZING when you say it. Every time this word comes up on duolingo I feel compelled to shout it out loud. It's true. Just ask Lee. http://www.forvo.com/word/schlafzimmer/

Die Mannschaft - the team. Yes. I know. This is a giggler in English. It's also a fabulous word, and it came in handy during the World Cup season! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0cuK6zb79E

Das Krankenhaus - Hospital - sick "krank" + house "haus". Let's leave aside, for a moment, the fact that it sort of sounds like "crackhouse" in English which makes it sort of funny. "Kranken" is a gorgeous sound. Say it. Feel it in your mouth. Pure heaven. Watch the sort of creepy video:

*As to other languages: French makes me feel romantic but occasionally quite moody; Spanish makes me feel like singing always - I think it's the most melodic language; Korean, sadly, doesn't do it for me. I feel less powerful when I speak it, usually, though its alphabet is very cleverly designed - a fact which cannot be denied. Italian, though my exposure has been limited - is fun, but I don't have time for it at present. Japanese - when I've tried it -  has made me feel light and precise. This is all purely subjective of course.

So I ask you - how do various languages make you feel? What are your favorite words in foreign languages (or in English)?
