This is a variation on a word game I played in German class in high school 
I thought it would be perfect for this section of the forums, and allows everyone to show off their language skills and maybe pick up some new language skills along the way!
basically you pick a word in whatever foreign language you like (the more weird-sounding and complicated the better!) and make a note of what language the word is in. Then you provide 3 definitions of this word, 1 real and 2 made-up, and the next person has to guess which definition is the true definition of the word - which will be included at the end of the post after a spoiler warning. then the next person picks a word and provides definitions and so on
I'll start:
German: Scheinwerfer
A.) Shower
B.) Letterbox
C.) Headlights
I love this idea for a game!
Here is one of my favourite Egyptian Arabic words. Arabic words can have different meanings depending on where the speaker is from, but this is a word we use in our family a lot.
Dowsha/Dawsha (I am unsure about how to write it on here but we pronounce it 'dow-sha')
A) Pants
B) Noise
C) Exercise
An example of how we might use it:
Person A: I have to sort out all these forms, call my bank, study for an exam, go to an interview... Dowsha.
An example of how it is used to mean noise:
Person A is playing music.
Person B: 'What's this dowsha?'
Hi @clarii3105 !
Well done getting it right! It sort of translates to "(we) go there." The verb is Aller, meaning to go, conjugated to Allons, meaning "We go" and the Y part means "there." It's a curious one!
I tried to say your word out loud and that helped me guess it right!! 
This is another of my fav French words...
Bisous
Does it mean....
A) Kisses
B) Bison
C) Napkin
D) Chat
