I genuinely love puns. As Ravee said, humour is really important to connect with people when speaking a second language. My favorite puns are bilingual ones. like the one below.
Just in case, Pain means bread in French.
And I fell sound like Eiffel 😛

Soundalike puns feels like these classic jokes that your uncle does at every party. 😅
The first time I searched the web for puns examples, I read wrong and I read “Homophobic puns” instead of “homophonic puns” I was a little confuse trying to undestand where was the homophobic meaning in the jokes I was reading
This class is a constant :face_palm: LOL.
Also, this IG account is always making puns, to have a good laugh (or facepalms): the language nerds
This is one of the funniest classes I have learned.😄
Until today I didn’t know the name of that word-jokes.
In my not humble opinion, explaining jokes is one of the saddest thing to do, no matter the language.
😄
Hahahaha!
I’ve never thougth jokes were important in a language context but as Ravee said, they make easier to communicate with people.
I’m sending an email to Netflix suggesting to make a remake of Seinfield with Ravee on the main role hahaha!

### **How to identify puns**
There are four main categories of puns:
#### **1. Sound-alike puns**
These puns use words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings.
* **Example 1:** "A pessimist's blood type is always B-negative."*Explanation:* "B-negative" sounds like "be negative," which fits the joke about pessimists being negative.
* **Example 2:** "My friend is getting married soon. She's going to get a new surname and address."*Explanation:* "Address" can mean both a physical location and a way of speaking to someone.
#### **2. Look-alike puns**
These puns use words that look the same but have different meanings in different contexts.
* **Example 1:** "What did the road say to the bridge? The road said, 'You make me cross.'"*Explanation:* "Cross" can mean both "to go across" and "to be angry."
* **Example 2:** "I used to be addicted to soap, but now I'm clean."*Explanation:* "Clean" can mean both "not addicted" and "physically clean."
#### **3. Close-sounding puns**
These puns use words that sound similar but are not exactly the same.
* **Example 1:** "What did the cashew say to the peanut while chasing him? He said, 'I'm going to cashew!'"*Explanation:* "Cashew" sounds like "catch you."
* **Example 2:** "Becoming a vegetarian was a big missed steak for me."*Explanation:* "Missed steak" sounds like "mistake."
#### **4. Texting puns**
These puns use a combination of letters and numbers to create meanings, often used in text messages.
* **Example 1:** "R U L8?"*Explanation:* This sounds like "Are you late?" using letters and numbers.
* **Example 2:** "Hotel sign = Gr8 r8s (great rates)."*Explanation:* "Gr8 r8s" sounds like "great rates."

A pessimist’s blood type is always B-negative.

I loved this class. I think everybody has made those types of jokes before but we didn’t know there were puns!!! Now we do!!! Thanks.
How does it feel to explain every single joke Ravee?, it has to be a nightmare, because you are ruining them.
I enjoy to know puns beacuse is a funny version to learn and learn meanings.
I use texting puns like Thank U (you) - 4(for) example , 2(to) U …
I found myself laughing along the whole class...puns are truly necessary to understand all the nuances of a language. 😋
