Shiritori is a word chain game, played in Japan, in which the players are required to say a word which begins with the last kana of the last word. We won't get that complicated and we will do it simple, only with the last syllable of the last word.

 

For example:

• HaNA(flower) -> NaTSU(summer) -> TsuKI(moon) -> KioKU(memories) -> KuMA(bear) -> etc.

 

Rules

1. ​Only nouns allowed
2. Words may not be repeated in the same round.
3. Phrases allowed ONLY if they actually mean only 1 thing (Example: Edo jou - Edo castle)
4. Names allowed ONLY if they have a thing(object, plant, season, etc.) meaning too. (example: Sakura - Cherry Blossom)
5. BLOCKING ALLOWED ONLY AFTER TWO WORDS
6. New rounds start only if 2 different players can't find say a word.
7. Have fun!

I'm pretty sure words that end with 'n' aren't allowed, so...

 

Uzumaki

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

^Indeed, there's no such word that starts with "n" in Japanese.

 

ROUND TWO

 

fluidgenius said Uzumaki (whirpool, spiral).

 

I say: Kiseki (miracle).

^ Sorry not allowed. I and Y are different, you can't use Y as I. Sorry you gotta change the word.

Well since today was wrong, I'll change it to yesterday:

 

Kinou

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

I'm pretty sure that those are allowed in shiritori. Just use anything starting with n.

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

^ No! Last syllable of last word should be the first syllable for your word. There's no syllable only with 'n' so it's not possible.

 

BiyoRI (wheater)

[✮DanDan✮]

RiKU (land)

 

WhiteForte  there is no word that starts with ん (n) you said うどん(udon) if it were English it'd be fine but since we're dealing with Japanese syllables it won't work

 

I have two question can we use foreign words like raito (light) or  rajio (radio) and if a word ends with 'do' can we change it to 'to' or vice versa?

[TheFicusWithSuperPowers]

^Yes you can use foreign words. Do and to?? Yes!

 

KuraSU (class)

[WhiteForte]

I'm aware of how Japanese work, but I was really sure that the n could be also considered (can't remember where I read it), just like the do and to rule. But anyway, now that foreign words were mentioned...

[Naddy-chan]
