In this game, someone will start a thread with a word in Japanese, and someone will respond with a word that means something similar. They don’t have to mean the exact same thing, in fact that is discouraged, as we try to take one word, eventually to something else, very different. Please include the hiragana, and English equivalent of each word, in spoiler tags, so people can learn new words!
Tip: Word that have similar meanings, but different uses, can be used, so that the next person can use the second word with a word that has a different meaning, but the same use (if that makes sense), this can completely change the future synonyms.
Example:
少ない | すくない | few
少数 | しょうすう | a few
If someone makes a mistake, correct them and continue from their word, and if someone uses a word that makes absolutely no possible sense with the previous word, just continue from the previous word, but reply to the most recent post, with a small note as to why you are skipping their synonym as to confuse less people.
小さい | ちいさい | small (I’m playing off of “a little” in English having “little” which is a synonym for small. It’s definitely cheating, but this is what I meant, so we don’t get caught in an infinite loop)
