Savoring languages

As a non-native English speaker, I enjoy the fact that while I stared learning English 23 years ago, I continue to learn a new word almost daily. Thanks to Cultural Offering, the daily average just went up to three.

Aplomb, Alacrity, Zeal. Admittedly they have appeared on my radar before, but it takes a few times before new words stick.

In comparison, my native tongue has less original words than English, but Hungarian prides itself on long ones:

legeslegmegszentségteleníttethetetlenebbjeitekként

meaning: "like those of you that are the very least possible to get desecrated"

It's a mouthful, isn't it?
