Nagisa_Fawkes Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Well, I know it's not very exciting, but I think it's a good and fun way to get some japanese vocabulary. For someone who doesn't know, Shiritori is a word association game where the next word's first sound (usually hiragana) must be the same as the previous word's last sound. Only thing is, you can't use a word that ends with ん (n), because there are no japanese words that start with that. I suggest that whoever plays it also to tell what the word means, for learning purposes. Of course many here (including me) are begginers to japanese, so dictionary look ups are allowed. So for starters: とり = tori = bird Quote

Nagisa_Fawkes Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 oh I didn't know, I'm very sorry, I should have done some research Quote

Christfall Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 浪人 ろうにん like Kenshin. Uhhh. The one rule in Shiritori is that whoever uses a word that ends with a ん will lose because there are no Japanese words that start with ん, and it cannot be continued by using にん. But since it has already been continued I might as well just play along continuing from いきなり: りんご (Ringo) - Apple Quote

It is explained in first post. ごちそうさまでした - Thanks for the food. Quote
