Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

Coopertating? (Coop-er-tayt-ing)

Incidentally, is there a verb for "to be Graciously Professional"? There should be.

If you mean for a translation into the infinitive form (Spanish) then I can't help you. But I do think there is a verb in English. In fact you said it yourself.

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

Maybe it's time for someone to send a clarification email to Dean's office.
Who knows? The TM or Patent or whatever for the verb may be in progress.

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

Seeing as the word gets its first half from cooperation and second from competition to form "coopertition," the verb must be the same way...

cooperating and competing

So it can only be one of four ways: coopereting, cooperting, coopeeting, or coopeting

However, I agree with dlavery, liking the second best.

Spotted this in the game description of Mario Brothers for wii [•Join up to three friends for hilarious multiplayer action that combines competition and cooperation }. Maybe someone should trademark a word and sell it to nintendo

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

I need to get int CD more frequently! This thread just made my day!

So far my favorite, although totally impractical answer is:

I can see it now at a competition...
Adult to students- What are you doing?
Student 1 - We're co-operpeting!
Student 2 - No, we're co-opertating!
Student 3 - You're both wrong! We're co-operting!
Student 1 - No I'm right!
Student 2 - No way! We are definitely co-opertating!
and so on, until...
Adult - I don't think it matters whatever you are trying to say, shouldn't you all be driving the robot?

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

I'm going to go with Dave here.

You used different forms of the base words in your examples. The equivalents are (noun - adjective - verb):

Cooperation - Cooperative - Cooperating
Competition - Competitive - Competing

So by combining the common parts you get:
Coopertition - Coopertitive - Cooperting

Note that the adjective form is different than the verb form (as it is in competitive and competing)

Looks good on paper, but the middle form is very akward and doesn't seem right to me. How many sylables does it have?

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

I thought I'd resurrect this thread , since it's such an integral part of this year's game. We forgot to include the true verb tense, which would be (by the reasoning above) "to cooperte". Thus, in asking the opposing alliance if they would like to join you on the coopertition bridge, the correctly phrased question should be "Would you like to cooperte with us?".

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

From what I had heard, the Coopertition aspect is referring to the mix of competition and cooperation. Balancing on the Coopertition bridge only only involves the cooperating aspect, therefore the verb is just cooperating. I'm not entirely sure if that is correct, but I heard it somewhere. Haha
