Come play Shiritori with us

[Stekan]

Here’s how to play Shiritori (thanks @akatsukinoluna for the idea):

Take the last kana (hiragana) from the word used by the person before you and use it to start your own Japanese word.

Here are the rules, which I copied straight from tofugu’s website:

Standard Rules

• You can only use nouns
• You can’t end a word with an ん sound, since no words start with it.
• You can use “words” that have の in them, as long as they are concrete enough to be considered a word. For example, things like 男おとこの 子こ would be acceptable.
• Words normally written in hiragana or katakana are both okay. So, foreign words are a go (as long as they are actually considered words).

I’ll start:

頑張って！ (this was before we changed the game to Shiritori. It was just random words)

頑張りたくないんですけど… / 頑張りたないねんですけど

I’m just feeling lazy… Excuse the possibly malformed Kansai-ben

[akatsukinoluna]

暖かいな （あたたかい）

(ところが is there an easy way to generate the furigana text like that, without having to manually write <ruby>木<rt>こ</rt>漏<rt>も</rt>れ日<rt>び</rt></ruby>?)

[YandrosTheSane]

The best solution I’ve found is to type the text in Obsidian with a furigana plugin and copy paste the text in rendered mode.

Just edited the plugin code to accept { | } and ｛｜｝as separators range to not have to switch between input modes too much

The raw ｛世界｜せ｜かい｝is transformed into the right structure 世せ界かい <ruby>世<rt>せ</rt>界<rt>かい</rt></ruby>

(there may be better plugins, i didn’t look around too much since the output was WK compatible ^_^)

[Stekan]

What I do, to make it quicker and less confusing, is copy/paste this line to the number of Kanji in the word:

(I pasted 3 lines since the word has 3 Kanji)

Then I quickly write each kanji and corresponding kana respectively for each line. Like this:

Finally I just put them all together with any hiragana in the word, the final result would like this:

This may seem complicated, but I’ve only been doing this for few days and I already got much faster.

Ruby text generation

Cool method, though one critique… you’re winding up a lot of unnecesary <ruby></ruby> like that… better way to do it would be:

<ruby>
kanji<rt>kana</rt>
kanji<rt>kana</rt>
kanji<rt>kana</rt>
</ruby>

and then merge them to (with or without the spaces):

<ruby>木<rt>こ</rt>漏れ<rt>も</rt>日<rt>び</rt></ruby>

To speed it up: If you use a coding text editor like Sublime Text or VS code, then it’s pretty easy to just select the text and “Join Lines”, and then do a search & replace for " " and “” (without the quotes)

Anyway thx, I’ll try to keep the template handy when I’m on my laptop at least
