This is a game I saw on Mango Languages, it is a game where you substitute part of the sentence to make it into a new sentence.
The purpose of this game is to improve reading and understanding of Japanese grammar.
Here are the rules: (Added on 11/28/2007 2:33PM)
1. You are only allowed to modify one small part of the sentence in one round. You cannot modify the whole sentence.
2. You are allowed to change the meaning of the whole sentence by modify part of it.
3. If you change it into a grammatically wrong sentence, you lose the game, someone has to correct it first before the game can proceed.
4. You are only allowed to add/delete 1 word in a round, it can a noun with particles or copula and adverb or adjective. Alternatively you can use 1 noun + 1 particle + 1 adverb or adjective if you deem appropriate.
5. You are allowed to break the sentence into 2 or more, but you must abide to the above mentioned rules.
6. You are allowed to delete 1 part of the sentence at a time if you can make the sentence better.
I have not seen this game being played at an extensive level, therefore, I cannot predict the outcome of this game, I will moderate this game together with everyone, new rules may be added to improve the game as it progress.
Example:
原文:
Japanesepod101は最高です。
A player can change the sentence to: Japanesepod101は悪いです。
Please use red color to highlight the part that you modify.
The next player can then change it to: Japanesepod101は悪くないです。
The changes continue, depend on how creative the player is.
The sentence will be:
原文:
Japanesepod101は最高です。
