Today, it was not without reason that we began with a small lyrical digression in order to attract the attention of those who want to get acquainted with the most beautiful words in English language. There are a huge number of them, so we will highlight the most memorable.

This once again proves the poem by Alexander Blok "Night, street, lamp, pharmacy." It is worth paying attention to the masters who wrote tanka, haiku and haiku, because they, barely waving a brush, could express an idea, conveying a special philosophy in a few lines:

Inflames impatience in the soul
funny tricks
Should I not know
How passion ignites

Surely you have repeatedly asked yourself the question: why are some words in English so melodic and beautiful? And the reason is not that this language is the most popular, but that you have the opportunity to discover another world in which your opportunities will multiply. Very often people decide to learn English precisely because they like the sound of its individual words.

How beautiful is this language?

The English language is attractive to many people for a number of reasons:

Subconscious craving for euphony. There are no hissing consonants similar in sound, but there are a large number of long vowels. There are also no words that are difficult to pronounce, despite the fact that in order to pronounce some, you need to have certain articulatory abilities.

Language semantics. Most words are easy to learn because they are universal. Some of them were borrowed from other languages, for example: fantastic - fantastic, delicacy - delicacy, eternity - eternity, galaxy - galaxy, freedom - liberty. The English language can be compared to a sponge - it has absorbed valuable linguistic forms, which is why it seems very beautiful.

Incredible emotional vocabulary. These include the presence of idioms and unusual colloquial slang, as well as the use of affectionate suffixes and other techniques.

Invaluable experience of linguists

Linguists from Britain like to organize various surveys. Not so long ago, they decided to create another one. Its goal is to find words that are pleasant to the ear. The survey was conducted among foreigners, since it is difficult for a native of Britain to determine the attractiveness of a particular word - he simply ties them to certain meanings. And, as for non-native speakers, they are often attracted to unknown words.

The first place in the survey was taken by a very melodic word mother, known by every person from birth. The rest of the results varied, depending on the age and level of the social group:

Young people prefer romantic words, as well as those associated with music.

Philosophical concepts appealed to older people.

Businessmen like tangible terms about business life.

Housewives like household words, as well as those that are often found in the field of shopping and in TV shows.

As you can see, the survey did not give definite results. This was another proof that the environment where a person lives and works affects lexical preferences. Every language has attractive words.
