I thought it could be fun to do a simple (and silly?) "game", that could give some insight in the languages we're speaking here. The reason behind this is that I find it fun to see the similarities and differences between our languages.
It goes as follows:
1. The one who starts a new word or sentence (e.g. an expression) does this in their own language and gives an English translation, in order to make the others understand which word it is, unless the word itself is already in English. E.g.: huis (house)
2. All members who'd like to join can subsequently give the translation in their own language(s).
If there are more people of the same language, the 2nd (or later) person can try to give a synonym.
I am not sure about rules for who can start a new word (ideas are welcome) but for now we can just try to do this without rules and just see how participation will be. So for now, anyone can start a new word whenever they want, and anyone else can respond by giving a translation (quoting the new word).
NOTE:
@Perun: naturally Farsi is allowed as well (but don't skip the German ;-). That goes for all people who know more languages besides English (I'm thinking of e.g. Onhell and Natalie).
I'll start with:
duisternis (darkness)
Thanks in advance for playing!
