Association Game - A game of vocabulary.

Person 1 says a word, and the next person names a related word that it makes them think of (and provide a definition).

For a little bit more challenge, you can choose to include Devanagari, but you don\'t have to. Just be sure to include a Romanized word and it\'s definition in English :)

Let\'s try?

Khalti - pocket
खल्ती

Is it really correct, with the direct translation \"to kill tiredness\"?
AnyaWednesday 07th of February 2007 11:38:21 AM

yep, I agree with your translation.

I don\'t know if it matters in this case, but I learned tiredness as \"thakai\".. it\'s just the way it is phoneticized, I think.

padhnu - to read
PradeepWednesday 07th of February 2007 03:07:27 PM

for example:
bat marnu = kura garnu = to talk

anyway Maria also absolutely right:)

- vatavaran = invironment

now a days, the word \"dirty\" is became closest friend of Kathmandu. I don\'t mind, what to do \"satya tito hunchha\"!

But deathbydalbhat Jee,
I would like to be conformed about your word \"hawai\".
May be you mean haawa (air/atmosphere).
Hawai belongs to airport, airoplane, airways etc.
like: hawai marga = air way
hawai jahaaz = air plane (airplane)
