My SO is also English, so my favorite terms from him are:
*Mate
*Rubbish
* Trolley (for shopping carts)
* Whenever he curses, there's something about hearing him curse in that British accent of his that just makes me smile, it still sounds so lyrical! :P
* I also like that fact he uses more of a full and varied vocabulary than I'm used to hearing around here... Words like "indeed" "crude" and "stark" and the fact he knows the difference between "your" and "you're" makes me a happy girl - nothing more attractive than intelligence in my book

My SO speaks english but one of my favorite phrases he's said is "bangers and mash"

One of my favourite words in Turkish is 'aşkım'. It means my love which is nice.
Another is 'minik' which means little but is used as a term of affection between us (him to me)
My SO favourite phrase in English is 'making me mad ya'.

My SO speaks Swahili or Kiswahili which is one of the most fantastic sounding languages. Pretty much every word is fabulous, but here are some of my favourites so far.

Nyanya - tomato - I always remember this word because he taught me how to go to his neighbour and ask them to sell me two tomatoes for dinner in their tongue.
Polepole - slowly - just rolls of the tongue
Toka! - p*** off! - Used this one on an old man who followed me into the toilets of a Ugandan nightclub, only to remember that they speak Luganda there, not Swahili

New favourite words of mine:
"iyi günler" - good day (literarily, since it is day+plural ending it means good days). I was in the bank today and my number in line said "good day" on it, that is so polite
"aşk" - love. Not like in I love you, but like the general term/the big concept of it.
"çocukler" - children/kids. I love all the words that ends in the lovely turkisk R
" büyük" - big
"Öyle mi?" - really?, said in a very surprised, but slow voice, like the information being said is astonishing. They use it for everything minor unforseen to things that are really surprising. I will never get tired of the range of this expression, it is almost as expansive as güzel.

I love the sound and usage of "puchica" (sounds like: pooch-ee-ka, said really fast) in Guatemala. I looked it up online and it's more of a swear word in El Salvador but everyone seems to use it in Guate for most anything. "Puchica! Our team won the match!" or "Puchica! The chicken bus ran over my foot!" or "He robbed me! Puchica!"

Amorsote - it somewhat translates into "big hunk of love" and sounds so much more like an actual "big hunk of love" than all those words in English combined. I love it.
"Sos pilas!" - the phrase means "You're smart!" but it's slang and in general translation I don't think sos has a meaning and pilas is "batteries".

In my SO's grandmother's language of K'iche', I don't know any words really. I love hearing his mother and grandmother speak, though.
Utz - thanks (pronunciation is a bit guttural)
Maltiox - thanking a person for something (pronunciation: mal-tiosh)
