This thread is a word game. There is just one rule. You must write with words of one sound chunk. See if you can do it. If you err, then all laugh.

This is not hard in this speech. There are not few words with just one sound chunk.

This speech has few things at ends of words, so not few words are short.

I think so.

But your word is too long. So we canā€™t use it in this game.

Yes, that is it. The game is to find the right short words to talk with. It is not too hard if you go slow.

Oh 15abyles, why donā€™t you say that with short words? Then you can play the game too while you tell us of your chat.

ā€œthis puts me in mindā€, say, in place of ā€œthis reminds meā€.

I want to ask all in this thread - what do you like to learn here on this site?

I like to learn tongues - speech of far sites.

Yes, all can chat here of not few things. Wise thoughts or dumb jokes, say hi to friends. But since the thread has a word game, when you take care to choose the short word, you laugh.

On this day, I want to speak Welsh through Skype with a girl I know.

I want to go to Wales in March, so I want my Welsh to be good. I need to hear it a lot and I need to speak it a lot. I am still at the start.

But she, too, does not speak it from birth. We both learn it. So I hope it will be good for both of us! She knows more than I do, though.

Seems like a good way to sound like a boy or girl that just learned how to talk.
Iā€™d like to see one try this in a tongue not used here. The tongue of the Brits is rare in its high count of one-sound- chunk words (did I just cheat?)

I think you did not cheat.

You are right with ā€œsounds like a child that just learned how to talkā€, I think. Some of the first words a child learns are these one-sound-chunk words. They are down to earth. They are the ground of the tongue.

In the speech of the men who live in the snow and ice, this game could not work :slight_smile: Their words are long.

You did not cheat, but I think it may be best to switch the words and not use the dash: ā€œwords of one sound chunk.ā€

Right now the game does sound like the speech of a child, but that is just caused by our lack of skill. With use, the skill to think of the right words will grow. Right now, we can think of plain words, but there is a vast sea of strong words that can be used.

Here is a link to a page with a tale told this way: https://ericjohnbaker.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/a-story-composed-entirely-of-one-syllable-words/
Those are not the words of a child.

But of course the link has long words. Iā€™m not sure if that was fair. What do you think?

You can use few words or not. As you like. You can speak for a long time and not stop just as this does now if you can pull it off.
