Преподавательница (Prepodavatselnitsa) Russian for a female school teacher. It will
always stick into my head because I had to learn it as a beginner and it just seems like
an insane word to an English speaker.

I spent some time in Sardinia and their who language amuses me because of the tonality.

I love saying ''Здравствуйте!'' in Russian ("Zdrastvoychyah" or ''Hello").

I can't believe the Russian word давай (davai) hasn't be listed yet. It literally means "give" but is widely used as "let's go" or "come on." It's got some kick to it somehow.

Oh, the poster who mentioned давай reminded me of what that I really find funny, just
because of the tone of voice and how it is said: что-ты!/что-вы! (Chto-ty!, chto vy!),
it's like, "What the hell is wrong with you?" or "What are you saying!"

German: Maedchen (girl), Kaninchen (bunny) [I like the suffix -chen for some reasons...]
French: Pissenlit, Parasseus (lazy, and I have a good feeling that's way off in spelling)
Afrikkans: Vark (pig, and I have no reason at all for why I like this word)
