Similar Sounding Words Game
« on: August 21, 2009, 09:37:01 am »

Simple game that's done with the Chinese language, you take the last sound (syllable, I think that's what they're called) of a word and post a new one starting with it. It only has to sound the same, doesn't have to be the same spelling.

If possible, contain the consonant, even if it's not officially part of the syllable. Example: Contain (cont-ain) is considered to have ended with the sound "tain"

Rules:
2 syllables or more.
No more than 2 words, unless it is a proper noun.
Try to actually make new words.

An example of the process in action, with things to watch out for:
Apple (pul)
Pulley (lee) <---- Just pul with an "ey", a bit too simple.
Leeway (way)
Wayward (ward)
Warden (den)
Denmark (mark)
Market (ket)
Ketchup (chup)

So on so forth.

Nettle

(I guess either tehl or tuhl would work for the next one, I'm not sure.)

I am perhaps the most successful troll ever because even though I do not troll others I troll myself successfully... and there are no rules against trolling yourself.
