DW Euromaxx Zuschaueraktion "Lieblingswort"

The German language may not have a reputation for sounding sweet and soothing. But it does contain many unusual, striking words. We asked you to tell us your favorite word. 
Thanks for the great response!! We drew a name from all the entries. 
And the winner of a Scrabble game and an iPod Shuffle is Karen Bradtke from Funchal form the Island Madeira, Portugal.

She wrote: "My favorite Word is "Schmutzig"! I particulary like it because when I met my husband he told me that "Schmutzig" means "I love you". Yes, I did marry him even I found out the truth." 

 Congratulations!
