Un chiste

Today in class we were talking about how to use the word “dolor” versus the verb “doler”  and the result was entertaining and I think I need to share it…

You may recognize the old joke through the Spanish.

¿Tiene dolor de cara?

Porque me duele mucho su cara.

Roughly translated… Does your face hurt?  Because it’s sure hurting me :)  Reality:  They would never say this.  But it made us laugh. 

One of these days we’ll learn how to actually make chistes/jokes in Spanish, but things like wordplay take a long time to aquire in a new language.  So until then we just laugh at ourselves!  Gotta do what you can.
