Not a native Spanish speaker but I've always loved "otoño" (autumn). Such a beautiful word to say.

Asinine. It's a perfect descriptor and it's succinct.

Yawn. If you pronounce it while sleepy, you actually yawn. And the yawn will sound like the word yawn.

Maybe I'm just sleepy, but I like the word :)

Paraphernalia is a fantastic word for "stuff"

Karcinogen ,

Entreat - verb - ask someone earnestly and anxiously to do something

It's a handy word that kind of combines "pleading" and "asking". It's a bummer it fell out of style because I can think of many scenarios where it would fit perfectly.

'Sennight'. It means ten days. Saying it just feels like making a flourish with my tongue.

It means ten days.

Wiktionary seems to disagree.

But tenday is a good word for that.

Qualia - instances of subjective conscious experience

It's fun to say, fun to think about how your red and my red differ subjectively but we still agree that red is red, and just a fun word.
The concept itself has many strong detractors and arguments against it being real, but eh, I'll keep on thinking about it.

Monachopsis. The subtle and persistent feeling of being out of place, in the company of misfits and dreaming of a place to belong.

And i blame you for the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows binge you've put me on

Onomatopoeia, it's a fun word on it's own, but I love the while idea of it. Especially in other languages, like the million different words for dog barks.
