Although this might seem like a funny brainstorm- it is a chance to share your favourite words. (In Inuktut or English) What is your word? What does it mean? Why do you like it?

Example: My favourite word in Inuktitut is "Iksivautaq"

This word translates in English to mean "chair". I like this word for a few reasons. 1) It is fun to say! 2) It makes me smile when people say "Iksivautaq" when they are talking about politics because I always imagine something to sit on instead of an important speaker. :)

Example: My favourite English word is "rumpus". It means a disturbance or commotion.

This word makes me excited because it is a "loud" word and whenever I hear it I think of big energy and action. This word reminds me of the book: Where the Wild Things Are.
