i barely use this word either
is that what it means? hahaha, i just thought âi guess i have to learn this for its use in other wordsâ and just stuck to remembering âfordâ haha
The only reason why I know âfordâ is because of a movie called The Sound of Music.
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
'Till you find your dream
Well, if youâre going to walk past a tsunami, youâre going to need to ford it.
I only know it as a verb but there is a noun meaning to ford too.
I know it because of how many rivers I tried to ford in Oregon Trail. Spoiler alert: donât do it except maybe on the first one. It doesnât go well.
I only know ford because of Lord of the Rings (the books).
Just before getting to Rivendell, the hobbits ford a river (I forgot its name).
Google says itâs called Bruinen.
That specific place is actually called the ford of Rivendell.
Thank you all for your explanations!
I will try to remember it with
âFord the streamâ
But I think I will add âcrossingâ or " go cross"
Just for case 
these are great and are definitely going to help me remember the definition!
/in english!
Thats a good example of the noun âfordâ.
(and a pretty good name, too)
We donât typically ford rivers anymore these days lol so itâs not very commonly used in English unless you are talking about car company or former president lol
I donât actually remember the word âfordâ from Oregon Trail. It could be because I was almost unable to understand English when I was playing it, and it just went over my headâŠ
I do remember âdysenteryâ, though 
It doesnât have to be a large river though, I donât believe fording is as uncommon as you might think. Just crossing a small river is fording. Iâve waded through lots of streams. You can even ford a ford in a Ford.
Iâm impressed 
True indeed you can. I, as a native English speaker, have never used ford as a term for crossing a river. Have you? Iâd imagine Lewis and Clark used it often though.
Iâm not a native speaker, but Iâve encountered it many times in books
It relies on you living somewhere with lots of shallow streams!
There are heaps in the UK, often only 5-15cm deep, where it is easier to drive through than build a bridge.
I was already singing this before I got to your post!
another question just crossed my mind.
maybe stupid question but anyway⊠how WK knows what time it is? Iâm going back to Germany in August and then of course i have to set the German time on all my devices again. i donât want that WK is getting confused because of thisâŠ
WaniKani just sticks to its own intervals. It will show you an item after e.g. 4 hours or 8 hours, no matter how many timezones you crossed in the meantime. The only thing that might be affected is the display of the next expected review in various places, mostly scripts. That should depend on the information about your timezone that is received from your browser and should be OK automatically since it should be using your systemâs timezone.

And about the race: I think I will switch to a slower group. I was travelling for work this week, it was super busy and I couldnât catch up with my reviews and lessons completely yet. I notice that Iâm procrastinating a bit about it now and I think I have been going too fast and expecting too much. I should probably take it slower for a couple of days, the super fast pace is just not for me. Good luck to all you speedy narwhals, I think Iâll join the (not so lone anymore) Lone Tiger instead.
the leading cause of death! (in oregon trail)
But can you afford to ford forward a ford in an Oxford Ford with president Ford?
whatâs an Oxford Ford? I thought Ford was just a make of car
ÂĄImpresionante! Doesnât make perfect sense, but nevertheless! Iâd prefer to ford a fjord with Frodo.
