So kann man sich den Red Snapper im Supermarkt selber aussuchen und in die dafür vorgesehene Tüte einpacken.
"Supermarkt in Thailand, GER
That way you can choose yourself your red snapper in the supermarked and pack it into the bag which is put there for the purpose

I hope that isn't the case, since it would seem to exclude languages like Chinese whose words are very different from western languages. In any case, my interpretation is that one word has to have the same meaning as one in the previous sentence, and that the forms of the word are irrelevant. |

The problem with that is that we get those long rows of examples based on words with the same meaning in different words. For me the fun consists in the unexpected turns and twists. But let's leave it up to the contributors - sometimes the word for a certain thing can be unexpected, and "lernejo" is one example of this.

FRENCH:
Pas nécessairement; je pense qu'il y aura une variété des sujets si on choisit un mot différent de celui de la phrase précédente.
Not necessarily; I think there will be a variety of topics if we choose a different word than that of the preceding sentence.
Perhaps we should have a rule that says the same word can't be chosen twice in a row?

Sēnes var lasīt, grāmatas arī var lasīt.
You can pick mushrooms, and you can also read books. (in Latvian the same verb is used for both of these actions)
