Kagura!! I've been in love with it since Fruits Basket although I don't know what it means and if you say it with the right Hiragana pronunctiation it almost sounds like Kakurot!! XD

I am reading the words, but I have no idea what you are saying.

Useful no such thing for me since I'm not fluent and wouldn't try to seem until further notice; but favorite: せんりつ
if I married a Japanese woman and had a child I would name them that, I don't care what anyone says. well maybe I'd cut the kid some slack if it was a boy.

洋服だんす is probably my favourite. According to my dictionary it means 'wardrobe'. I just like the image it gives me of all my clothes having a disco in the closet.

サボテン is probably another. One of my housemates had a video game where one of the characters repeatedly screamed something like 'はどうけん’, only I kept hearing at as サボテン and wondering what the big deal was about cacti.

Anyway, I'm not sure about my favorite word. I don't know what my favorite word in English is but I have only the selection of the coming on 1,000 or so words I know in Japanese making it easier than the tens of thousands I probably know in English (so many more Japanese words to learn :S).

Here's a few of the many words which I like for some reason or other.

日本(nihon) - This means Japan. Because I love Japan.
空気(kuuki) - This means Air. I remembered this easy because it sounds similar the English word cookie.
歩く(aruku) - This is a verb meaning 'to walk'. It allowed the Totoro opening to be one of the first Japanese songs I understood some of.

"Wakarimasu" would be my favorite word.

My Japanese vocabulary is less then 100 words. I am self-taught. On my recent trip to Tokyo I asked many people for help in my 'broken Japanese'. And the answers I recieved were given in english, broken english, or Japanese. What I loved was the look of delight when I would say, 'wakarimasu' and then repeat the key words that I understood

It's a good word.



(I also have a favorite phrase. "Koko wa doko.")
