Some tongue twisters.
I was having fun with a friend and come up with some (what I think) are funny tongue twisters when said in spanish. See if you can figure them out.
- For the cat, a plate of duck, but the dog waits for a pear.
- A frog and a spider in the sand playing games on thursday
- I pray for gold, then say goodbye to God.
This all came about because of a joke we read somewhere. (the punchline is kinda given away above). A tomato and a pear are waiting in line for the bus. The tomato says to the pear ¨how long have you been waiting¨ and the pear says ¨all my life¨.... you have to translate it to understand it.

Me gusta . Muy bien. Have you heard the 'trabalengua' that goes something like this? Tres tristes tigres tragaban trigo en tres tristes platos en un trigal tres tristes tigres. My spanish is limited but I figured out the first one that you wrote and I love it. Im going to work on translating the others. Thanks for a good post. VOTE.
If any one is interested:
"Para el gato un plato de pato, pero el perro espera por una pera"
"Una rana y una araña,el la arena, jugando juegos el jueves"
"Oro por oro y luego digo adiós a Dios"
The reason why I included the last one is because as an American, of course I know what adios means. So when I first got down here to Nicaragua, I was watching a preacher on TV.. and for the life of me i couldn´t figure out his sermon, because to me, he just kept saying ´goodbye´a lot..... I kept hearing ´a dios´ ( to God) and thought he was saying adios.
I thought the first tongue twister was pretty good. Interesting subject with phrases that turn into tongue twisters when translated.
