Let's play Shiritori Game! :cool:
しりとり　を　しましょう！
Rule 1: You have to come up with a word that begins with the final kana of the previous word. You can use katakana words such as “furuutsu”(fruit) 「フルーツ」.
Rule 2: The word can not end with "n".「ん」
Rule 3: Nouns only.
Rule 4: You can ignore Dakuten/Handakuten if you like.
ga,gi,gu,ge,go ------> ka,ki,ku,ke,ko
da,di,du,de,do ------> ta,chi,tsu,te,to
ba,bi,bu,be,bo ------>ha,hi,hu,he,ho
pa,pi,pu,pe,po ------> ha,hi,hu,he,ho
Example: “Happi”「はっぴ」 -----> “Hiragana” 「ひらがな」
I'll start.
Shiritori しりとり
Now, you have to write a word that begins with "ri".

Ummm, probably someone mentioned this rule on previous posts...:relief:
The OP's (or general) rule of shiritori

Rule 3: Nouns only.

甚い - いたい painful;sore
いたい の い
1)
いたい is an adjective.

2)
いたい as the meaning "painful, sore" is written as 痛い in kanji.
甚 means "very," and is mainly used as the adverb form "甚く" in modern Japanese.
e.g.
彼には甚く腹が立った。
Kare ni wa itaku hara ga tatta.
I was very angry with him.
