ok... anyone for Shiritori?

for those who don't know what that is, I'll explain.... it's a japanese word game. the first person says a word [ex. 'sushi'] and then the next person has to make a new word begining with the last "syllable/kana" [ex. 'sushi' ends with 'SHI' so the next word can be... 'SHIka]'
ALSO, you can't end a word with 'N' [ex. 'tabun'] because you can't start a word with 'N'... not really. l0l
Names and Places are alright and you HAVE to give a translation... nothing... foul, ok? Let's keep this open to the little kiddies as well, shall we?

understand?

let's try it:

shinoBI [ninja]

so the next person's word has to start with BI

bishôjo (I hope it's alright? O_O)

Jogakusei (female student)

Seifuku (uniform).

Kudaru (to descend)

rusuban [caretaker]

You can't use a word that ends with "n"!

err
rusubandenwa

[answering machine]

does wasabi count? o.o

I don't see why not.

Bijutsuka (artist)

kara (from)

If that's not right, can Kakashi count?

ramen (japanese noodles)

No words ending with 'n' are allowed.
So I continue from "Kara".

rakugaki (Graffiti)

"kara' also means empty. And is my name.

Kizu (scar; wound)

zurui (sly)

Inori (prayer).

...aren't Ramen noodles technically Chinese?

i dunno....our real "la mian" isn't quite the same thing, but i see Chinese ramen shops selling Japanese-style ramen now.

riyuu (reason)

(this is making me nostalgic....i haven't played shiritori since Japanese 1 or Japanese 2. )

yuurei [ghost]

itachi (weasel)

chuusei [loyalty]

iruka (dolphin)

Kanojou (girlfriend, or nise-kanojou if you're talking about me and EKE )

That's actually just 'kanojo'. No prolonged 'o'.

yoki [expectation]

kiki (crisis)

kingyo [goldfish ]

gyougi (manners)

gigai [prosthetic body *in Bleach anyway ._.*]

itoko (cousin)

Konayuki [Powdered Snow]

*Hey, that actually came in handy, Eke.*

kibou (hope)

Kaze (wind)

actually, since mine was "kibou," you were supposed to start with a "u" word. no matter.

zenryaku (it's like...er...it's used in letters as a placeholder of sorts for the usual greetings that start a letter, or something close to that.)

Oops I misread the topic.

Kuruma- car

mamushi (viper)

shidousha [leader]

Hayaku (quickly)

kuchibue (whistle)

You're wrong twice here...

enpitsu [pencil]

tsumari (in short...)

Iie(no)

...I see some of you aren't very familiar with Japanese...

Gomen, gomen! *edits*

God, what's up with me and my spelling today?

nope, "hyaku" means 100. "hayaku" should be fine, but maybe Bacon was looking for "quickly" as the meaning.

"tsumari" ends with the syllable "ri," not "i."

egao (smile)

okiru [to wake up]

ruijiana (Louisiana)

namaiki (arrogance)

Kisama [Not completely sure, I just know it is derogative]

maboroshi (illusion)

shiro (white)
