I love the word 'vile' in English because it just captures it if you want to say something is horrible but I also love 'blimey' which is unlike anything I've ever heard before coming to england, I love the word 'rien' in french because I just love the sound of it and I love the word 'bliksem' in afrikaans because it has so many different meanings. I don't know any other languages but I have to say there are quite a few fascinating words in english, mostly old english.
I have to say I find it hillarious how the Americans just murder most languages: Hors d'oeuvres comes to mind, which they pronounce ordurves, so funny

Mine is 'Gorski Kotar', you have to roll the 'r' like the Scottish. Its the name of a forrest in Croatia, it just sounds so spooky to me.
(That was 2 words, does it still count?)

Geschwindigkeitsüberschreitung
It's the German word for 'speeding' (as in exceeding the speed limit (in a car)).
