未納 みのう ....oh great, another word I don't have a clean translation for... How about "unpaid", although it's a little different....

 

[Niedy]

閏年

You can't read them or you can't see them to read?

 

[Niedy]

eigo - えいご - 英語 - English
You can't read them or you can't see them to read?

Shouldn't it be ru? The e I think indicates "thinking" ^^

[JAL]

mukou - opposite side? am i right?

if i have writen(kaku?) something wrong, please corect me - i mean show me my mistakes.

only from mistakes some people can learn (hanabu?), me too.

mybe,
mukougawa - is right? opposite side - so am i right or not? im still learning japanese and i know only some 200 words, mybe more, mybe less. ☝

 

[Niedy]

I think 向こう側 (mukougawa) is better... mukou just means opposite... (direction, party, etc.)

so... u... from mukou

[JAL]

Sumimasen,
while Mrwabu have writen in hiragana (I guess), I kan not read the word. So i have two questions:
1) how meny charakters is in hiragana alphabet? (watashi wa baka desu!)
2) why are some words in this forum marked red???

 

[Kyoko_desu]

Hi there, JAL-san, nice to meet you!
Since this thread is only for the shiritori word game, you are not supposed to post a question here, but please do not worry. We have some other section where you can ask questions about Japanese language.

Please check here.
You can create a new thread by clicking the button saying "new thread" on the left and ask anything about Japanese language there. There are always many nice people there who can help you out with your questions. You are always welcome!

Now, let me get back to the shiritori game

My word is 綿菓子（わたがし）- watagashi -cotton candy

 

[JAL]

Arigato Kyoko_desu-san! (i am not sure about "san")
shiru - to know, or mybe - to know something would be better.
Next is ru! :*)

 

[MrWabu]

ルール
るーる / ru-ru / Rule

 

[Niedy]

ルート
ruuto
Root, Route

japanese words starting with ru are only very few ones... ;>.>

 

[MrWabu]

とろろ
薯蕷 (I think this is usually written in hiragana)
tororo
grated yam

This gets mashed up and put on noodles, a little bit expensive. I don't like this stuff, its texture when mashed is quite horrid.
