I just got this idea.

Perhaps something in my language may mean something else in yours. It doesnt have to be written the exact same way.

Example

Llamadera (Spanish) - Consistent in calling

yamadera (Japanese) - Mountain temple



Have fun!

I'll start off:

Casa (Spanish) - House

Does this sound like anything with similar pronunciation in your language (whether similar or something different it could also include meaning.) It could also be any other language you know of.

Hasa - To slide, slither [Swedish]

Miru - To look [Japanese]

[Thanks. sweatdrop The dictionary I use said it was 'kasa,' but I guess not.]

It's actually "Hasa" not "kasa" Kalathma. I looked it up in my dictionary.

The Japanese word for bread is a loanword from Portuguese, I believe. wink

Ummm, closest to "miru" I can think of in Chinese is ... 麋鹿 (mi2lu4) which is a type of moose or elk I think. xD

What about mima (密码) which means 'password' in Chinese?
