Today I was going through the Deutscher Sprachrat web site and found a list of the five most beautiful words in the German language. I'm going to put the real definitions under a cut, but would be curious to see what the non-German speakers think these words mean before you look at the answers.

1. Habseligkeiten
2. Geborgenheit
3. lieben
4. Augenblick
5. Rhabarbermarmelade


The definitions are:

1. Habseligkeiten - belonging(s), either the physical objects or the sense of
2. Geborgenheit - safety, security
3. lieben - to love
4. Augenblick - moment
5. Rhabarbermarmelade - Rhubarb jam
