How many words do you know?

Expand Post »
Ok, the purpose of this game is to educate us with new words from other languages. Type a word or phrase in another language (tell us the name of the language) that you know the meaning to and tell what it means in English. The next person has to type down the first thing that comes to their heads in another language or the language used for the previous post... any language... other than English, and then tell us what it means in English.

I'll start with this one in Spanish.

Re: How many words do you know?

Yes, it is spiele... I just got a bit messed up with my words, veräppeln means to play games with... not games... sorry and I typed Software because that was the original word in the last post it's not German... and games the word I thought of, which is spiele not veräppeln. Sorry big boo-boo :o ... my German is kind of getting rusty.

Spanish:

From last post: (Games) thought of the word:

score>>>puntuación

Here's mine:

Just to let you know, in Spain it´s ordenador. Computadora is a mainframe. I learned Spanish in South America but until recently lived in Barcelona, where my wife was born and I´m always amazed at the differences.
