Come play Shiritori with us

Standard Rules

  • You can only use nouns
  • You can’t end a word with an sound, since no words start with it.
  • You can use “words” that have in them, as long as they are concrete enough to be considered a word. For example, things like おとこ 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

コー​​ヒーショップ

A place you go to study if you’re feeling lazy. Or sleepy…

なつかしい

せやな。心地良いやな

再現。二度現れることを表す単語。

しゃ

Sunlight through trees

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>?)

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 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 ^_^)

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
