YAKAMOZ

October 27th, 2007 | Category: news

A competition entitled “The most beautiful ABC of the world” (“Das schönste ABC der Welt”) which was held in Berlin awarded the Turkish “yakamoz” the title, the most beautiful word of the world. The jury selected it from almost 2500 words.

“Yakamoz” means “the reflection of the moon in water”. The Chinese word “hu lu” (to snorr) came in second. The African word “Volongoto” (Baganda tribe), which means messy or chaotic, was voted third place. According to the jury, they selected “yakamoz” over the others because in Turkish one is able to express in a single word, what can only be expressed in other languages using multiple nouns.
