meraki [may-rah-kee] (adjective) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love -- when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be.
In a sentence: My food may not be 5-star, but I always cook with meraki.

In that sentence, "meraki" is used as a noun as the object of a prepositional phrase.
And from another source, we have:
Meraki is a Greek verb or adverb that literally means to leave a piece of yourself on the table. This lyrical, untranslatable expression refers to doing something with passion and devotion, to act with undivided attention.

I used the "I don't know how to diagram a sentence (still can't) because I skipped 4th grade" excuse for years until a teacher said to me once,"That's the past get over it". Wiser words were never spoken and yeah I 'm bragging a little

Great new word Deb. Any idea on correct pronunciation? Google come up with examples that sound like they end in “ki” and others end with “key”.
