English-Esperanto Puns

dec 19, 2007 Komenti Go to comments

I’ve been discovering “Accidental Esperanto” all around me. Many English words are Esperanto words too, and they can make for some great puns:

La emo de la emuloj estas esti tre “Emo.”
(The tendency of the Emos is to be very “Emo.”)

Kiam mi demandas al ŝi se mi povus veturi sian “Neon,” ŝi donis al mi grandan “neon.”
When I asked her if I could drive her Neon, she gave me a big “no.”

Jen Jen!
Here’s Jen!

Oni ne devus uzi “Uzi” en la domo.
You shouldn’t use an Uzi in the house.

Kia Kia!
What a Kia!

Kiom doloras via kapdoloro? Ache!
How badly does your headache ache? Terribly!

For fans of Frank Herbert’s Dune books:

Alia ne plu estas unu el ni. Alia alias.
Alia isn’t one of us anymore. Alia is someone else.

    Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for
    aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
    for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely
    overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Thank you!
