Sure, a linguist would describe it as an interjection

I am stumped… again! I really don’t know many words:) If Vsotvep was on he would already have a word. Also isn’t it cheating to look up words unless you are pretty sure it is a word?

Look up the Japanese word for sea :slight_smile:

Nah, I think it’s OK. It keeps the game going and expands your vocabulary.

does that mean looking at notes isn’t cheating either?

I don’t think anything is cheating, any way you get the word is fine. Of course, it might be more satisfying to recall words you know.

I feel it is cheating though for someone else on here to tell me a word.

Look, how about I just decline bracchium to make it easier?

What about bracchilis, in / with the arms? Like “using your arms”?

Now I feel bad. Eventually I will think of something.

I gave up and searched stuff on the dictionary.

Ume - it is Japanese, and it says that it means a Japanese plum. Here is the kanji for it (I think) ->梅
The hiragana is うめ. If someone would like to replace it, than so be it. I don’t really care. I looked it up in a Japanese dictionary, so I didn’t really think of it myself.

Ichi - one, Japanese
No clue what the kanji is for this one though.
I took me so long to come up with a word I already knew:)
