deyvion Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Okey, so a game section has been proposed, and there is already a game posted, so I thought I would start up a new one and see how it goes.I previously proposed the 'Five Letter Word Game', and since this thread is in the General section, I thought I'd change the rules a little. Basically the rules are these:I write a five letter word, let's say, GLASS.Then, the next person has to come with his/her own five letter word that starts with the last letter from the word by the person before - in this case S.Easy right?However, as I said, I would change the rules a little. Since this game is not posted under a specific lanugage, and this forum is about learning language, I thought that the person could choose a word from whatever language, as long as it is five letters, starts with the last letter from the word before, and also includes a definition.So, I start.GLASSDefinition:SWEDISH: Ice cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraM Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sounds like a fun game! Here's my contribution.sueño Definition: Spanish: dreamSueño can also mean "sleepy" when used with the verb "tener" which translates as "to have" or "to be," depending on the context. So "tener sueño" translates as "to be sleepy." "Tengo sueño." = I am sleepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitkat0124 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Mine is TULAY. (tagalog/filipino)In English it means BRIDGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topcho Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hmm this game sounds quite interesting even if it turns a bit hard for me... I would love to share some words from my native language with you, but with the different alphabets it can turn rather messy... Ok, I will try.YAZVA - it is actually written in 4 letters in Bulgarian, but every 5 lettered word starting with this sound will become 6 lettered when translitterated... messy I told you. In Cyrillic it is written ЯЗВАIt means ulcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apple1989 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Bababa. It means to go down. It's one of the easiest Filipino words you can learn. You just have to repeat one syllable and voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetFresh Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Aluin. It also is a Filipino word meaning to comfort. I'm Filipino myself so it's only natural to choose a word of my own culture. Good luck to whoever is next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
