As I prepare for my upcoming treks, I've been reviewing some helpful vocabulary. As a lover of words, I was amused when pondering the word(s) for when an airplane takes off: "despegar" (sp.) and "decoller" (fr.) - both mean "to unstick", which is decidedly better than the alternative!
IMHO, these words are far better than the English term - I really don't like the idea that anything is "taken off" the airplane as it leaves the ground!
What are your favorites?
