Translation: The butterfly

[kdb119]

Great word!

[Rhian662482]

It describes the way a butterfly flies through the air - I agree, a lovely word!

Lol. Pilipala in Chinese is an onomatopoeic word. It's used to describe the sound of firecrackers, the sound when a box of crystal balls fall onto the ground, or other sounds like that. XD

I learn several interesting new things every day in these discussions. Never know what'll be next. Thanks! :-)

What a beautiful word for a butterfly!

[jonafown]

Its semi-repetition kind of reminds me of the filipino word for butterfly, paru-paro

That's interesting, thanks for the comment.

My favorite Welsh word so far.
