Yeah, 1 is right.
However, 2 means "vegetable" --- the Japanese word for "slow" is "osoi".

Anyway, one of them was right --- your turn again.

Yep. Ok here are my two words. :3

"Kabe" means "wall".
The Japanese word for "arm" is "ude".
If you have ever heard the word "udewa" ("bracelet"), then that word is basically the kanji combination "ude-wa" = "arm-ring". ^^
You can see the exactly same kind of logic in the word "yubiwa" ("ring") as well, which is just "yubi-wa" ("finger-ring").

"Gakusei" is correct.

Your turn.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. : 3

1.kocha
2.Semai

I know that "kocha" is "tea", more specifically "green tea".

I am a bit unsure about "semai", though - it looks like an i-adjective, and the sound of it is rather strict and demanding.

More words, wahoo!

1. Ankoku

Yeah, its tea. But its black tea in English not green.:3
Semai is an adjective. It means narrow. ^.^

1.Ankoku I dont know^^"
2.Gakkou School

Here are my words now.

1.Tsukue
2.Hidoi

I am not sure about Tsukue but I'm pretty sure hidoi means: Mean / cruel.
1. urusai
2. baito

2. baito

Yes, pretty much - "hidoi" can mean things like "cruel", "horrible" etc.
I am fairly sure that "tsukue" means "desk".

As for your words, I know that "urusai" is an i-adjective and means "loud" or "annoying";
"baito" looks like an English loadword, possibly "bite" or "byte".

My words:

1. Yuka
2. Ishi

Yay, Mr.Priority participated~ : D And yeah tsukue does mean desk.
Sadly I have no idea what the above words mean so ill guess.

1.Yuka ????
2.Ishi Four of something?

Haha, not quite right.
Here are a couple hints:

Spoiler for Aforementioned hints:

"yuka" = something that supports your weight fairly often
"ishi" = a natural mineral

As for your words, I know that "urusai" is an i-adjective and means "loud" or "annoying";
"baito" looks like an English loadword, possibly "bite" or "byte".

My words:

1. Yuka
2. Ishi

Yes, correct on both words. Though baito can also be used for work. A part-time job for instance is regularly called baito.

I have no clue on your words though So i'm gonna guess:
1. Chair
2. Diamond

Ah yes, I remember that "baito" is a shorter version of the German "Arbeit" ("job").
I should kinda know, I used to study German a lot, lol.

Your guesses are on the right track, however number 1 supports your weight a lot more frequently than chairs, and number 2 is more "boring" than a diamond.

1.???
2.rock

Haha yeah, you basically got number 2 right - "ishi" means "stone".
Number 1 was "floor".

It may be worth pointing out that it seems like "ishi" is usually the word for a small stone, whereas a larger rock or boulder is usually called "iwa".

Alright, your turn.

Haha, I am not sure if "support your weight" was a good clue, I guess that could mean anything. xD
