I love the word 'dokidoki' in Japanese, which is the sound when your heart beats fast. Something I love about Japanese is how they can use one word instead of a whole sentence, for example, they will just say 'hot', instead of saying 'oh it's really out today'. Straight to the point!

Ms Janice CA ESL I like the Malay word -cium (pronounced chium). It is also the same word for sniff/smell. The malay people do not kiss when greeting, they kinda sniff near ones ear when greeting. x
