The Next Person Game in English

[becki_kanou]

I'm attending a friend's wedding this month, but I'm not worried about it.

The next person can't whistle.

[NileCat]

Yes, I can whistle.
But I can't whistle with fingers...well, I mean, to produce sharp whistle-like sound using two fingers on the lip...



The next person knows what I want to say and kindly tells me what do you call it in English.

[becki_kanou]

I understand what you mean. I'd probably just say "whistle with your/two fingers" or maybe "whistle through your/two fingers". I can't do it either, but I can do a mean 歯笛.

The next person can hear the typhoon blowing outside their windows.

[NileCat]

Thanks becki!
Yes. Although the wind isn't that wild, it's raining cats and dogs here in Tokyo.


The next person is busy working now.

[tōkai devotee]

No, I'm not busy at all. I'm cuddling my young son, and sitting beside my jealous daughter!


The next person loves to bake cookies and cakes.

[gabi in japan]

Yes! I love to bake both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



The next person is having trouble with their Internet.

[becki_kanou]

Not trouble exactly, but my darn connection is so slow. I'm really going to have to upgrade to 光ファイバー one of these days.

The next person likes their hotdogs with mustard and relish.

[gabi in japan]

No!!!! Yuck! I hate mustard!!

The next person loves to read books.

[tōkai devotee]

I do like to read, but I have little opportunity to do so because I'm busy being a full-time mother.


The next person used to enjoy playing with Thomas the Tank Engine toys as a child.

[becki_kanou]

Nope, I'm not sure Thomas was around when I was a kid. I did like model trains though, and I once went to a model train show with my Dad.

The next person went to the onsen this past weekend.

[chikara]

Not an onsen but thermal pools in New Zealand.

I'd never heard of Thomas The Tank Engine when I was a child even though the books were probably around. I don't believe the toys became available until the TV series took off.

The next person lives in the same city as me.

[becki_kanou]

Where are you Melbourne? Adelaide? I can't remember. I don't live in Aus. though!

The next person always mixes up シ and ツ.

[tōkai devotee]

I'm in the same city as Chikara! He maybe thought I would reply to his post. (We're both in Adelaide, by the way.)

The next person always mixes up シ and ツ.

I used to always mix up シ and ツ, but not anymore.

The next person always mixes up 持つand 待つ！

[chikara]

I'm in the same city as Chikara! He maybe thought I would reply to his post. (We're both in Adelaide, by the way.) ...

Yes! I live in Adelaide! Go Adelaide! Go Adelaide! Just out of curiosity, which part of Adelaide are you from? If you don't want to tell the whole world, you can PM me if you like!

The next person is female.

Yes, I'm female.


The next person doesn't live in Australia but wants to.
