How about a new rule? I'll offer two words and the next person gets to choose which one they like more.

 

Ógchiontóir  (Irish for Juvenile delinquent)

OR

Ollmhaireacht (Irish for Greatness, magnitude)

@Ennis  We have to decide: are these two words have to be from the same language?

Not necessarily, no.

We may try and see how it goes... :unsure:

 

Tîti ("grass" in Kongo)
OR
Tânu ("five" in Kongo)

@Ennis So do we have to pick the word we like best in terms of meaning, or what (we think) it sounds like? Questions upon questions 😉

 

Okay, I'll just go with 'word that looks/sounds best' and choose 'tânu', so:

 

unanime ('unanimous' in French)

 

unir ('unite' in French)

Pick the word you like best for whatever reason. Spelling, meaning, sound, length, colour (for synaesthetists)...

I think it would be good to repeat the word you picked at the beginning of your post. If you wanted to, you could also comment on why you chose it. Like this:

I pick 'unir' because I like the meaning.

 

rialtas (Irish for government)

réiteach (Irish for solution, settlement)

That would make a great game thread on its own tbh 👍

It is inspired an (offline) game actually: One person standing in front of the others says a word. Two volunteers get up and say a word they associate with it, positioning themselves on their left and right. The person in the middle than chooses one of them and sits down with the other. And so on.

@kiaroskuro  I thought we are doing two words at the same time... :unsure:  @Skycaptain posted something that is not even related to previous words!

I know, I know! But because @Skycaptain broke all the rules, I thought - what the heck, so will I. 😁 I'm sorry. We can get back to using two words if everyone agrees.

yerba (herb)

yeso (plaster)

@kiaroskuro  Should have used two of my words for your answer... :) Don't worry, I will reuse those words later in game! ;)

 

այս > ays ("this" in Armenian)

այն > ayn ("that" in Armenian)

Since new version of the game does not go well, let’s go back to an old version. :) One word at the time.
