Teapot Riddle no.24:

this is about a word in which I'm not quite sure where my translator is fooling me.

Forgive me, if I have a translation thats wrong.



Teapot riddle rules:

I have one word which has several (2 or more) meanings.

Each of the meanings is a teapot (first, second ...)

You try to figure out the word with my Hints.



First Hint:




My first teapot is pushing things

so strong, that they fall




Second Hint:




My second teapot is an attention-grabbing action,

so quiet, no ones hearing it




Third Hint:




My third teapot is an concentration-grabbing action,

so genius you will figure out




Forth Hint:




My forth teapot is so polluted,

that you wont want to clean up




Fifth&Final Hint:




My fifth teapot is the top,

the 'top'




Good luck and have fun :)

Thanks to all makers of the teapot riddles.

  • I was also planning on making another fan made teapot riddle, but that would make it the 25th teapot riddle, and that sounds a bit more special than the other ones. Would you like to do that one instead?

    @user477343 i dont mind ... maybe I do sth 'special' at 50th or 100th riddle, but I'm not sure how to make a 'sepcial' riddle. should it be extra hard or should it contain more riddles in itself or sth else. I'm open and very gracious about cool ideas

Certainly a stretch, but I haven't answered in a while :-) Is it:




Saw




First Hint:




It's more 'cutting' but let's argue that the teeth are "pushing" the material out of it's way. Saw a tree, it comes down




Second Hint:




Saw, the past tense of "see." Something I see, catches my attention




Third Hint:




An old saw - a proverb of sorts. Concentrate to figure out the true meaning




Fourth Hint:




Saw Mill River Ok, so there appear to be clean up efforts, so it doesn't really fit. But it is polluted




Final Hint:




A (see)saw. At one point, you are at the top! At least until you come back down...

Is the word:




WAVE ?




First teapot: pushing things so strong, that they fall




Forces travel in waves, so can push things over. It is theorised that the force of gravity travels in waves and this makes things fall.




Second teapot: attention-grabbing action, so quiet, no ones hearing it




You can get somebody's attention by silently waving at them.




Third teapot: a concentration-grabbing action




Feelings also come in waves, such as "a wave of concentration".




Fourth teapot: so polluted, that you wont want to clean up




The sea is polluted, and has waves. But do lets clean it up!




Fifth teapot: the 'top'




Your hair can be a 'wave', and that sits on top of your head.
