Game n°7: au supermarché - Bonjour tout le monde :)

Je propose de commencer ici le jeu que Peter a introduit dans le ESL forum.

Je vais expliquer les règles pour ceux et celles qui ne les connaissent pas. Vous devez à chaque fois trouver un nom de produit qui se trouve dans un supermarché, ce nom doit commencer par la dernière lettre du mot précédent.

ex: vin
==> nectarine
etc.

Notre premier mot sera 'chocolat' :p

Est-ce que quelqu'un connait un mot dont la première lettre commence par un 't'?

MeryThursday 20th of January 2005 12:44:09 AM
- Hi everyone :)

Madriarko, let me explain to you the aim of this game ;) You have to look at the word posted by the previous player, and find a word which begin with the last letter of that word. So, if Proteus posted the word 'noix', your word have to start with a 'x' ;)

Btw, 'nourriture d'ordure' doesn't mean anything.

Proteus, here's the correction of your sentence: j'aime manger des noix, j'en achète toujours de trop au supermaché. (no need to repeat 'noix' twice ;) )

Let's start again with a word which begin with a 'n'. Anyone? :)

ustensile is right ;) maybe you should have added 'de cuisine', but it's ok

MeryFriday 21st of January 2005 04:46:33 PM
- I think we should change the rules of this game for a moment because most of the time we have words which begin either with a 's' or a 'e'. It's not always easy to find a word starting with those letters.

So, what about starting with 'a' till 'z' like in the game with all the countries? :D

Let me start :p

A = des amandes (almonds)

CeLTiKa, welcome to Phrasebase :) Je crois que tu n'as pas très bien compris les règles du jeu ;) mais c'est pas grave. En fait, le but est de donner le nom de quelque chose qui se trouve dans un supermarché. Donc, si tu dis [b]nez[/b] ce n'est pas correcte. Si tu veux, tu peux toujours éditer ton post pour remplacer ton mot. Au fait, merci pour tes commentaires sur mon skyblog, c'est super sympa ;)

Maraja, ok :)

tinkerb, you're right, it's a masculine word. I didn't the word [b]pignon[/b]. I'm also learning new things here :D

- Hi tinkerb,

Moi non plus je ne [b]connais[/b] rien qui commence par U dans un supermarché *-) C'est pas grave, on va passer à la lettre V.

([b]to know[/b] can either be translated by 'connaître' or 'savoir' in French, in this case you should have used 'connaître'. I think I'll post the difference between the two verbs soon because many people can't distinguish the 2.)
