Nine letter word Challenge - 6

Nine letter word Challenge - 6

votes

Nine letter word games are very popular in the English speaking world.

The idea is to make words of 3 or more of the given letters.

The letter highlighted must be used. A

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

G T P

A A A

S I O

Find an English word and then write a sentence in English and Spanish.

Update - Or a Spanish word.

Example:

An adult stag has antlers.

monarch of the glen photo: Monarch of the Glen MonarchoftheGlen.jpg

Un ciervo adulto tiene astas.

When a nine letter word is found the game ends and the winner get 20 points.

This was the previous challenge.

I'm not sure if this is the answer you were looking for, ian-hill, because it is extremely obscure, but this is a nine-letter English word that uses all the letters:

agastopia: (noun) admiration for a particular part of the body.

agastopía: (sustantivo) admiración por una parte específica del cuerpo.

I learned the term in a human sexuality course that I took in college.

If you were looking for a different answer, feel free to ignore this one!! =]

Spigot (synonymous with faucet) = la espita

The spigot won't turn off; I think it's broken.

No se cierra la espita; creo que está rota.

Good two. - kirk1, Aug 20, 2013
"Me encanta la leche de cabra", without article. Unless you wanted to say that you only like the milk from one particular goat. - 003492fc, Aug 20, 2013
Ray might be just that fussy. :) - ian-hill, Aug 20, 2013
Ray should read his post on articles , then he may be the"genuine article". - ray76, Aug 20, 2013

It is great to welcome some "new faces" to these threads.

Clever "faces" too who find words like this.

agastopia: (noun) admiration for a particular part of the body.

agastopía: (sustantivo) admiración por una parte específica del cuerpo.

Not a word I have over used in my life - ha ha.

BIen hecho Alyssal Terry.
