The debate mostly went in circles, with folks throwing out concepts like stemming, lemmatization, root words, morphosemantics, and a whole bunch of other stuff I don't think any of us fully understand. The side arguing against the penalty said that if you lemmatize the word 'dead' you get 'dead' and if you lemmatize the word 'dies' you get 'die', so they are not forms of the same word, even if they are semantically related. A related question, suppose the disallowed word was 'hungry', could you use the word 'hunger'? They argued that 'die' is just irregular in that the adjective form of 'die' is 'dead' rather than the past-tense 'died'. The analogy given was that if 'paint' had been the disallowed word, then 'painted' would also be disallowed since 'painted' is both the past tense of 'paint' and is also the adjective form of 'paint'. The side arguing for the penalty said that 'dead' is the adjective form of the verb 'die'. You can't say any word, part of any word, or any form of a word that is on the card.Īt some point during our game someone got a card with the word 'dead' on it and in their clue they used the word 'dies.' Someone on the other team called for them to be penalized, but the clue-giver argued that 'dies' and 'dead' are different words rather than forms of the same word. There are some other rules and restrictions in this game, but the relevant rule in question is this:

Can you help settle a debate for me and my friends? Last night we were playing a rather silly word game where you have a card with a word or phrase on it, and you have to try to get your teammates to guess what is on your card without saying what is on it.
