Autobus Complet - Word Game

Canlı's picture

Submitted by Canlı on Tue, 11/04/2008 - 02:34.

Thats how we call it back in my country 'Mısır' although its in French and means 'bus is complete'
Maybe you are familier with it too,'im curious to know what do you call it '
And it goes like this
We make a table of categories
Let's say
Female name- male name- country-city-object-occupation-animal-plant-...etc
And whatever we like,then we choose a letter,and we try to find the categories words that start with tha letter
Then we start the game,and who finish first,he/she yell 'Autobus Complet' that means,no more room or time for anyone to continue the game..all should stop and he/she would be the winner
And it would be his turn to pick the coming letter
So shall we play now ?
Our categories here will be simplified

Country :
City :
Female name :
Male name :
Occupation :
Object :

Needless to say,we play this game here in Turkish,so please provide the needed translations for more benefits

Picking the first letter ...after all...it was my idea Eye-wink lol
Here we go........ ( H )

Ps: Guys remember to say Autobus complet! when you finish or else anyone else would finish after you,could be the winner Eye-wink

Letter C... but not completed :(

Submitted by slavica on Thu, 12/18/2008 - 03:43.

country: Cibuti (Djibouti)
city: Ceyhan (near Adana)
animal: cırcırböceği (cricket)
plant:
object: cep (pocket)
male name: Can (Soul, life)
female name: Cansu (Water of life)
occupation: cerrah (surgeon)

The only plant starting with letter "C" that I could find was ceviz (walnut), but Ayla used it in her previous post with letter "C".

Does anyone know another plant starting with "C"?

So, let's start with A again!

Submitted by slavica on Sun, 12/14/2008 - 02:04.

I agree that sometimes it won't be easy. But if we get in trouble, we will ask for help. And if we raelize that there is ONLY one word starting with certain letter for some category, we will consider autobus completed without this word (or with the same word from the first round).

Now let's start second round of our game:

country: Avusturya (Austria)
city: Alanya
animal: aslan (lion)
plant: ağaççileği (raspberry)
object: albüm (album)
male name: Ali
female name: Ayşe
profession: aşçı (cook)

Autobus complet!

Next letter: B

Nativs help

Submitted by Canlı on Sat, 12/13/2008 - 23:27.

İn that case,we would need nativs help,i think there must be more than 1 or 2 names for the things...ect for each letter,no ?
İf not...we will be in a big trouble think

We can adjust then the rules so it can be complet when one item is missing...but just 1 item
But i think we can do that in the next round not this round
Each letter at least can have 2 sets of things...yes ?

[quote=Ayla]If the decision is to start over, let's start with A then.
Just we should keep in mind that in some letters it'll be hard (or impossible) to find things different from the first round.[/quote]
Thats the problem wink I had a full set of answers for Z but on looking back for a letter that had not been used I discovered Ayla had done Z before and my answers were almost identical. head

Start over

Submitted by Canlı on Fri, 12/12/2008 - 22:32.

We can start all over again but with different things
Just we make sure that we dont post same one that we have posted before.
For example.
Letter J

We had female name: Jülide
Now we can get another one other than that one
Jihan for example..and so on.
İn the game in real,if we are 4 persons playing the game,so you can find 4 different names for the same letter
Here we had just 1 version...so actually we can have as many as we can
