Hello, fellas! What’s up? May I ask you a question? Do you live the in the city (kota) or countryside (pedesaan)? Which one is better? :D

Oops, they were 2 questions. So it was supposed to be: “May I ask you two questions?” xD

Based on Mentions, many of you seem to live in the countryside. Good! Because today our lesson is about farming & agriculture vocabulary. :D

If you joined yesterday’s #EngGame, this game should be easy for you. You only need to guess the vocab based on each of its definition. :)

Here’s an example: W _ _ _ _: a colorless, transparent, odorless, liquid which forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain. What is it?

Great! Let’s start the game. :) “@LokitaCitra: water”
