| italian word game #3 - Doublets - Metagrammi - [color=red]Interested in other Italian games? Please visit the [url=http://www.phrasebase.com/forum/read.php?TID=14387] Italian Games Index Page [/url][/color] [b]Doublets[/b] ([b]Metagrammi[/b] in italian) is the name of the popular word puzzle invented by Lewis Carroll, also known as Word Ladders, Stepwords, Word Chains etc. How to play: choose two words formed by the same number of letters, then transform one word into another by changing a single letter in each step, so that each link in the chain is a valid word. For example, to change [b]SOLE[/b] into [b]LUNA[/b] with 4 links: [b]SOLE[/b] (the sun, il sole, masculine) [b]SALE[/b] (the salt, il sale, masculine) [b]SALA[/b] (the hall, la sala, feminine) [b]LANA[/b] (the wool, la lana, feminine) [b]LUNA[/b] (the moon, la luna, feminine) The one who finds a a solution will have to give another couple of words. The first words are: [b]MALE – BENE[/b] ;) Carla | |

| - [quote][i]Originally posted by kappa_laura[/i] BELLA (beautiful, fem sing) VELA (sail, la vela) VOLA (3rd person sing present of the vb "volare" - to fly) SOLA (3rd person sing present of the vb "solare" - to be in the habit to ) ROSA >> SALE - PEPE[/quote] Il verbo "solere" (essere solito, avere l'abitudine di - to use to ) appartiene alla seconda coniugazione ed è difettivo (manca di alcuni tempi) e irregolare. Alla terza persona singolare dell'indicativo presente si coniuga: lui/lei suole. E' molto poco usato nell'italiano moderno. La parola "sola" comunque ha un significato: è il femminile singolare dell'aggettivo "solo" (lonely). Carla | |
