There are some words that just feel so good rolling off one's tongue. Learning to say the french word 'psychologie' properly whilst doing my A levels was one of those little episodes. My teacher went around the classroom making each of us say it one by one, I doubt I will ever get the pronouncation wrong and I still love to say it. 'Kartoffel' is another, the Danish word for 'potato' feels kind of comic, but my absolute favorite right now is the word 'enchanted'.
enchant |enˈ ch ant|verb [ trans. ] (often be enchanted)fill (someone) with great delight; charm : Isabel was enchanted with the idea.• put (someone or something) under a spell : [as adj. ] ( enchanted)an enchanted garden.
Not only does 'enchanted' feel amazing to say but there's something so classy about someone exclaiming, "Enchanted to meet you".
Moments of enchantment are rare, I can only recall I couple in my lifetime but the memories stay or at least I never forget them as I always end up writing them down. There's a kind of excitement underlying an 'enchanting' moment, like magic, like a frame from a feel-good movie or a chick flick. Like walking into Hogwarts for the first time, an unexpected fantastic surprise or meeting someone that you just know you'll end up falling for.
I think I could fall to sleep tonight considering this word and looking forward to the next time I feel 'enchanted'; because the feeling I get hearing the word tumble off my lips... I'm convinced is almost as good right now.
