A little variant of Word Association I thought of. It might be a little difficult to play, but I think its an interesting challenge that also allows to know more words from other languages.
For instance, a word in a foreign language - preferably, a language different from English - is put up.
Like this:
Computador (which is Portuguese for Computer)
And the next person can say in other languages - of course, he chooses only one.
For instance, French to it:
Ordinateur, I believe
So, whos' up for it? =D
I'll go ahead and give out the computer example:
Computador
-
Comprehendere - (Latin: comprehend, understand)
-
Wakarimasen - (Japanese: don't understand... I think. It's been a while since I took Japanese :p )
-
Verschtae?(sp) _ Understand- German
-
Rozumieć - (Polish: undestand)
-
Verschtae?(sp) _ Understand- German
The spelleing would be "verstehen".
Ruckzuck - Now that one is difficult to translate literally but it would mean something like "in no time" / "in a jiffy". The term is German (am I within game rules if I come up with German terms? German is not a foreign language to me same as English is not for most of you.

Yup, don't see a problem. Eheh, I also used portuguese, so.
Veloz - (Which is portuguese for fast, and other synonimes)
-
Verlust - (German for loss or in the respective context casualty).
-
gestorben- to die or pass away- German
-
sterben would be the infinitive (to die), gestorben would be a past tense form (died).
Scherben - German for fragments.

brennen- burn,to burn?
