Nine letter word Challenge - 28

Nine letter word Challenge - 28

7
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.

Usually it is possible to find a 9 letter word.

These are the letters for this challenge.

F I G

N E A

R A S

The letter highlighted must be used. E

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

Example:

There is no smoke without fire.

No hay humo sin fuego.

fire photo: Fire SOUL!! FireSOUL_zps820fbed7.jpg

After the first 10 answers my nine letter word ends the challenge and the poster get 20 points eventually.

This was the previous challenge.

I gave him the finger.

Le di el dedo.

Note: I'd include a picture, but this is a family friendly website... Does "giving someone the finger" even work in Spanish speaking countries, or do I need to learn some new non-verbal insults?

I am sure it works almost word for word - the gesture certainly works. - ian-hill, Nov 25, 2013
