A little game…?

[presumenothing]

It's already TGIF where I am, so 我们来玩玩游戏吧！

Since languages are all about connections, and everyone sees different patterns in the chaos:

Post a bit of vocab below, and I (plus anyone else who wants to play!) will reply with other bits of vocab that feel related to it!

Any shape or size of vocab goes – whether a single character or an idiom, your favourite word or one you just learned.

If you're responding, feel free to add why these words seem related to you! "They're the same shape/sound", or "it's a valid answer to 接龙ing the above", or "it came up together in one line of this show"… anything goes! 放飞创意吧！

My word: 江湖!

(because Zhou Shen's 江湖觅知音 is currently set as my alarm, heh)

Here's something to do with why I'm learning Chinese: 科幻大会

I picked this bit out by ear in Love Between Fairy and Devil just now and it amused me: 可笑!

I'm going with 龙飞凤舞, which I just came across because I was googling dragon chengyu for Reasons (TM) and I just really liked the mental image of applying that to calligraphy.

One of my favorites: 對牛彈琴.

I can't play because the moment you said "post a bit of vocab" every single word or expression I've ever known instantly departed my brain. :p (Same thing happened with Wordle at one point - what do you mean five-letter words, I've never heard of any! *headdesk*) But I'm really enjoying reading all the comments on this post, so thank you a lot! ♥
