What is しりとり?
Shiratori (しりとり) is a Japanese word game where players take turns saying words that begin with the final kana (or syllable) of the previous word. The goal is to avoid words that end in the kana ん (n), as very few Japanese words start with ん. The game can be played in Japanese using hiragana, katakana, or kanji, and it's often played by children and adults alike for entertainment or to test one's vocabulary. The game can become challenging as players try to think of words quickly while following the rules.
For Example
Player 1: さくらんぼ (sakuranbo) - cherry
Player 2: ぼんさい (bonsai) - bonsai tree
Player 3: いぬ (inu) - dog
Player 2: うどん (udon) - udon noodles (ends in ん, so Player 2 loses this round)
The game continues until a player either cannot think of a word or says a word that ends in ん. The last player standing or the player with the most points wins.
For Example
すいか (suika) - watermelon
かさ (kasa) - umbrella
さくら (sakura) - cherry blossom
らくだ (rakuda) - camel
だいこん (daikon) - radish
こんぶ (konbu) - kelp
ぶどう (budou) - grape
うさぎ (usagi) - rabbit
ぎんこう (ginkou) - bank
こうちゃ (koucha) - black tea
ちゃいろ (chairo) - brown
ろうそく (rousoku) - candle
くつした (kutsushita) - socks
たぬき (tanuki) - raccoon dog
きのこ (kinoko) - mushroom
こまち (komachi) - rice variety
ちゅうもん (chuumon) - order, request
Players need to think quickly and creatively to come up with words that match the criteria while avoiding words that end in ん. The game can be quite challenging and fun!
