In Swedish, the words game/games is "spel". Yes, both singular and plural are the same. I guess in German it is: Spiel/Spielen (?).. Spanish: Jogo/Jogos.

German:

Game = Spiel
Games = Spiele
to play = spielen

Shoonay · 08 October 2004, 15:24

Witam... ups... hi

0 games: 0 gier
1 game: 1 gra
2 (to 4) games: 2 gry
5 (and more) games: 5 gier

mr_0rga5m · 08 October 2004, 16:10

English

Game = To Play
She's game = You's got lucky
Gamey = Bit ropey

08 October 2004, 16:13

Turkish

Game: Oyun
Games: Oyunlar
To play: Oynamak
I'm playing: Oynuyorum
He/she is playing: Oynuyor
They are playing: Oynuyorlar
I played: Oynadım
They used to play: Oynamışlardı

etc...

When they could not play: Oynayamadıklarında

Thread can be named to something more meaningful IMO.

Shoonay · 08 October 2004, 18:27

(to) play: grać
(i'm) playing: (ja) gram
(he/she/it) is playing: (on/ona/ono) gra
(they are) playing: (oni) grają
(i) played: (ja) grałem
(they used to) play: grali
(it) was playing: (to) grało

Shatterhand · 10 October 2004, 07:39

Actually, in spanish I think the right word would be "videojuegos"

in portuguese games = jogos

useless/spb · 10 October 2004, 14:53

game = spill

Norwegian

in conversation we say more game than videogame.
we say water, not h2o

I wonder why computer games are called VIDEO games in the first place.

Shatterhand · 11 October 2004, 04:08

Sorry Judaz, I didn't see you were from SPAIN!

All spanish sites I've seen call them videojuegos, not juegos. That's why I thought it was videojuegos in spanish.
