In the online writing group I’m part of we have a virtual common room. This is used to post news, share information and writing successes. Recently, I asked if any of the group members would like to share a word for Wordy Wednesday. The word could be in any language.
I was delighted to receive a wonderful word, with meaning, from Susan. This is what she says:
“Thanks for the invitation to bring a word to your Wordy Wednesday. As you were talking about drizzle, I’ll give you our local Basque word for that same dreary rain: “txirimiri” (pronounced chirimiri). I like the word – not so happy about the rain, though.”
Thank you Susan and what a fabulous word. It’s great to have a word I’ve never heard before. I listened to the pronunciation and love how it sounds.

txirimiri and smile
What a great word – I love the pronunciation too. Thank you, Susan!

In Hindi a drizzle is still rain but the difference is made by prefixing an adjective to it. The adjective is rimjhim. Though the word is never used as a standalone.
