ĉirkaŭmaŝo = hula hoop? I can't find a good word.

How would I tell somebody I own three big hula hoops?
Mi havas tri grandan ĉirkaŭmaŝon?

Always worth checking out Vikipedio for this kind of thing: Hulringo.

Yes, Vikipedio gets it wrong at times, but this word also appears in NPIV2002, so it seems to be correct.

Cool, thanks. Of course the moment I stop working on my skills I start getting things wrong. ridulo.gif

I'd probably call it a "huloringo", that lr combination in the middle of the word is a little strange to me.

But either way would be fine!
