Una broma

Una broma
 

Qué es verde por afuera, blanco por adentro, espera que te lo digo.

Mi amigo me dijo y yo la entendi.

Corrections please :)

Not idea hahahaha.

Espera (es PERA):cool:

Here, we call this "adivinanza" instead of "broma"

Mi amigo me la dijo y yo la entendí.


However, there is a better version, with its rhyme:

Blanca por dentro,
verde por fuera,
si no lo sabes,
espera.

Another ones:

En este banco están sentados un padre y un hijo,
el padre se llama Juan y el hijo ya te lo he dicho.

Oro parece, plata no es.

If you're interested in some more, you can find them in the thread "Acertijo". :)

Can a joke also be called a "chiste"? I hear that frequently.

Indeed.

I agree. In Mexico a "chiste" is a joke that is told. A "broma" is something that's told to tease someone or a practical joke. :)

Absolutely you can call a joke chiste really that is the correct translation in Spanish.

I'm going to say a joke.
Diré un chiste.
