Quiz Shiritori Word Chain Thread (Summer, 2014): Closed

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread

I almost chose トーマス・エジソン（Thomas Alva Edison） since "天才とは、1％のひらめきと99％の努力である。(Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.)" is one of my favorite quotes, BUT it ends with ン.

So, I go with another actor: トム・クルーズ　(Tom Cruise)　

Edit/add: ブルドッグ・ソースis popular near Tokyo (in Kanto). I almost always use イカリソース instead.

"Zu" of all things... Can't think of someone whose name begins with "zu" from the top of my head, so I'm gonna cheat and disregard the topic all together:

ずがい　（頭蓋）　cranium

Not too sure why that was the first thing that came to my head but there you go (No pun intended.)

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

If we're switching to anatomy...

いのふ (胃の腑) stomach

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

It's a tough one. I hope a general body part is acceptable.

ふくらはぎ, calf (calves) of the leg(s)

Next person starts with ぎ (ぎ or き if you are not registered as a translator on MH, excluding Utsune, Sai_the_Shaman, and asari of course.)

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

hmmmm not technically a body part, but I just finished translating KuroBasu for this week and I think this works (loosely )

擬似的な「皇帝の眼」（ぎじてきなエンペラーアイ）

My first three pointer XD
1) starts with Gi
2) Comes from a manga
3) (technically) a body part >.> maybe sorta...

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

Was hoping somebody could ignored the random theme I inadvertently set, 'cos anatomy definitely isn't easy ^^; I absolutely couldn't think of a ぎ word at all... Was planning to cheat and go with ぎし　（義肢） if Sai hadn't answered If anyone could enlighten me on a natural body part beginning with ぎ...

Anyways,
いんとう　（咽頭）　pharynx (Had to look up the English for that ^^; The Japanese/Chinese name is much simpler)

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

Something easy:

うで (腕) arm

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

でべそ　（protruding navel）

Nex person starts with そ.

@cmertb
I was going to say うなじ(nape of the neck) which ends with dakuten, but うで is a good one.

@Utsune
I know that I can't enlighten you with ぎし　(義歯, fake teeth) or 　ぎっくりごし (ぎっくり腰, strained back), but how about: ぎゅうにく(牛肉, beef)? I guess ぎゅうじ (牛耳, ox ears) would do.

@Sai_the_Shaman
Talking about Kurobasu (Kuroko no Basket), I could have chosen
伊月 俊（いづき しゅん）の「鷲の目」（イーグルアイ） "Shun Izukis's Egle-eyes" following your shiritori style, but I was too late.

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

Hmmm I guess I'll change the theme to school related and since it's the season:

卒業式 (そつぎょうしき) - Graduation Ceremony

 

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

きまつテスト (期末テスト)　finals (almost said 試験 )

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

とうこうきょひ(登校拒否, refusal to go to school)

 

[Sai]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

昼の囲碁部　（ひるのいごぶ）Noon Igo Club

In my high school, clubs were held during noontime rather than before/after school (technically it was during lunch break but 昼食時 starts with ち...dammit). I ran the Go club during my last two years there...

 

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

ぶんぶりょうどう (文武両道) accomplished both academically and athletically (of course, the original meaning is somewhat different)

 

[Utsune]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

うわばき　（上履き）　Indoor shoes

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

きょうとう (教頭, often called　きょうとうせんせい 教頭先生, an assistant principal)

@sai
No wonder your name starts with sai. 　[Sai (藤原佐為 ) from Hikaru no Go.]

 

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

うんどうかい (運動会) athletic meet

HnG is my favorite anime of all time, but I hate go... as well as chess, checkers, and all similar games. I detest games with no randomness or fog of war. That's why I love playing card games.

いむしつ　（医務室）　infirmary； school health clinic

[cmertb]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

れっとうせい (劣等生) student suffering from 徒然 at school

 

[mikkih]

Re: Shiritori Word Chain Thread [NEW]

Funny, 劣等生 may not know what 徒然 means .

いいんかい　（委員会, committee）
