** Not to mention, the verb 'facio'. (And to go with imperatives- 'Dic me! Dic me!' It ought to have some indicators for long vowels, but not in our textbook...)

Add some scandal over her past love affairs and [[DudeNotFunny cue twenty years of rough jokes on her sex life]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Japanese]]
* '''Japanese:'''
** Japanese has a good bit of reduplication, usually used to indicate some degree of vagueness; there's even a character used to indicate repetition of the previous kanji (々). As such, you end up with words like 時々 "tokidoki" (sometimes, "time-time"), 黙々 "mokumoku" (mute, "silence-silence"), 中々 "nakanaka" (rather) or 我々 [[JapanesePronouns "wareware"]] (we "I-I").
** [[RozenMaiden desu]] - if you don't think it's funny, say it five times fast without giggling.
** kyuukyuusha (ambulance)
*** [[Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows shouboushaaa~]] (fire engine)
*** Chikatetsu (subway)
** koko/soko/asoko (here/there/over there)
** demo (but)
** eeto (erh...), n, and other stopgaps and fillers
*** In particular, "ano...," meaning "that..." is popular as well, sounds slightly dirty in English and IS dirty in Spanish.
** moshimoshi
** haha (mother) and chichi (father)
** aso, because if you say it the right way...
** chin - while still a body part, it's not in the same region as the english one.
*** Try below the belt. Actually, almost any euphemism for a penis is Japanese is hilarious. There's at least twelve.
** Nobuatsu Aoki.
** baka (largely thanks to [[RanmaOneHalf Akane]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QleyNcziqc0 Tendo]])
** bukkake (the smart bomb of dirty words. First off, few people know what it is - those who don't go home and look it up..."AAAAAAAAAAGH!" It also has a totally clean alternate meaning as a style of noodle preparation. Plus, it's ridiculously fun to say). And it can also be easily confused with "{{Bokukko}}".
** Moshi moshi
** Yoshi
** [[GagBoobs Oppai]]
** bonkura
** "Cake" is pronounced as "ke-ki", or, coincidentally, "[[StarCraft KE KE KE KE]]".
** Itadakimasu (somewhat appropriately, sounds like "Eat a duck, we must")
** Nani?! Standard for any moe-blob.
** [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Dango]]
** [[FushigiYuugi No da!/Na no da!]]
*** [[{{Tamayura}} na no de]]
** Gyūnyu (cow's milk)
** Washi (how old men say "I" or "me"). Try saying it in an old man's voice.
** -tachi, a collectivizing suffix for all the various gender- and age- specific ways to say "I" (ore/boku/atashi/watashi/etc.), which can add a humorous nuance beyond the meaning of "we" ("Ore-tachi"="we [tough guys]...")
*** The word "tomodachi" was originally made by applying the collectivizing "-tachi" to the word "tomo" (friend), but nowadays this word also means a single friend. How to make a noun which explicitly means "a group of friends"? Well, of course, add the same suffix once more: "tomodachitachi"!
** [[http://gai-gin.com/comic_0124.shtml Seieki]].
** 若干 (jakkan), despite being more or less synonymous with ちょっと (chotto) or 少し (sukoshi), is considered more inherently funny.
** Atatakai - warmish
*** Even more fun in past tense, "Atatakakatta"
** Uso. It means "Lie".
*** Uso da! (Liar!)
** Midori means green and is insanely fun to say (though not as much as tokidoki)
** Wagamama (selfishness)
** {{Hikikomori}}, but probably not funny if you ''are'' one.
** Hito is 'person', while hitobito is 'people'.
** [[EarCleaning mimikaki]]
** Ninki (popular)
** Nonki (easy going. Trying it and the above in rapid succession.)
** Shishunki (puberty). Especially funny for Russian speakers when transliterated (using the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillization_of_Japanese Polivanov system]]) as "сисюнки", which is dangerously close to the Russian word for "titties".
** konichiwa
** shiitake (as in the mushrooms)
*** [[TheCatherineTateShow "Shit ache mushrooms?!"]]
** Basically any by itself, especally "Pu" (see "Poo" above), and any other symbols ending in "U" (for the same reasons of he "oo" words).
** The sequence of numbers, 8-8-7-1 (hachi hachi nana ichi)
*** Using the slightly less popular Japanese variation for "seven", the same sequence is "Hachi-Hachi-Shichi-Ichi.
** geso (squid tentacles for eating)[[hottip:*: We have [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Ika Musume]] to thank for that, [[VerbalTic de geso.]]]]
** sumo (a funny name for a funny sport)
** {{ninja}}
** Unputenpu (trusting something to chance). Fans of ''{{Kaiji}}'' will be familiar with this one.
** Kuuki versus Kukki: the first means "air," the second is the Japanese pronunciation of "cookie." [[HilarityEnsues You will get them mixed up.]]
** Many Japanese ''{{Pokemon}}'' names qualify as this, with many of them being portmanteaus of existing words:
*** Pikachu ([[{{Mondegreen}} "Pick a chew, any chew!"]])
*** Fushigisou (Ivysaur)
*** Shizarigā/Shizariger (Crawdaunt)
*** Roobushin/Roopushin (Conkeldurr)

** poisson
*** "Who poisoned the poisson?"

Add some scandal over her past love affairs and [[DudeNotFunny cue twenty years of rough jokes on her sex life]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Japanese]]
* '''Japanese:'''
** Japanese has a good bit of reduplication, usually used to indicate some degree of vagueness; there's even a character used to indicate repetition of the previous kanji (々). As such, you end up with words like 時々 "tokidoki" (sometimes, "time-time"), 黙々 "mokumoku" (mute, "silence-silence"), 中々 "nakanaka" (rather) or 我々 [[JapanesePronouns "wareware"]] (we "I-I").
** [[RozenMaiden desu]] - if you don't think it's funny, say it five times fast without giggling.
** kyuukyuusha (ambulance)
*** [[Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows shouboushaaa~]] (fire engine)
*** Chikatetsu (subway)
** koko/soko/asoko (here/there/over there)
** demo (but)
** eeto (erh...), n, and other stopgaps and fillers
*** In particular, "ano...," meaning "that..." is popular as well, sounds slightly dirty in English and IS dirty in Spanish.
** moshimoshi
** haha (mother) and chichi (father)
** aso, because if you say it the right way...
** chin - while still a body part, it's not in the same region as the english one.
*** Try below the belt. Actually, almost any euphemism for a penis is Japanese is hilarious. There's at least twelve.
** Nobuatsu Aoki.
** baka (largely thanks to [[RanmaOneHalf Akane]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QleyNcziqc0 Tendo]])
** bukkake (the smart bomb of dirty words. First off, few people know what it is - those who don't go home and look it up..."AAAAAAAAAAGH!" It also has a totally clean alternate meaning as a style of noodle preparation. Plus, it's ridiculously fun to say). And it can also be easily confused with "{{Bokukko}}".
** Moshi moshi
** Yoshi
** [[GagBoobs Oppai]]
** bonkura
** "Cake" is pronounced as "ke-ki", or, coincidentally, "[[StarCraft KE KE KE KE]]".
** Itadakimasu (somewhat appropriately, sounds like "Eat a duck, we must")
** Nani?! Standard for any moe-blob.
** [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Dango]]
** [[FushigiYuugi No da!/Na no da!]]
*** [[{{Tamayura}} na no de]]
** Gyūnyu (cow's milk)
** Washi (how old men say "I" or "me"). Try saying it in an old man's voice.
** -tachi, a collectivizing suffix for all the various gender- and age- specific ways to say "I" (ore/boku/atashi/watashi/etc.), which can add a humorous nuance beyond the meaning of "we" ("Ore-tachi"="we [tough guys]...")
*** The word "tomodachi" was originally made by applying the collectivizing "-tachi" to the word "tomo" (friend), but nowadays this word also means a single friend. How to make a noun which explicitly means "a group of friends"? Well, of course, add the same suffix once more: "tomodachitachi"!
** [[http://gai-gin.com/comic_0124.shtml Seieki]].
** 若干 (jakkan), despite being more or less synonymous with ちょっと (chotto) or 少し (sukoshi), is considered more inherently funny.
** Atatakai - warmish
*** Even more fun in past tense, "Atatakakatta"
** Uso. It means "Lie".
*** Uso da! (Liar!)
** Midori means green and is insanely fun to say (though not as much as tokidoki)
** Wagamama (selfishness)
** {{Hikikomori}}, but probably not funny if you ''are'' one.
** Hito is 'person', while hitobito is 'people'.
** [[EarCleaning mimikaki]]
** Ninki (popular)
** Nonki (easy going. Trying it and the above in rapid succession.)
** Shishunki (puberty). Especially funny for Russian speakers when transliterated (using the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillization_of_Japanese Polivanov system]]) as "сисюнки", which is dangerously close to the Russian word for "titties".
** konichiwa
** shiitake (as in the mushrooms)
*** [[TheCatherineTateShow "Shit ache mushrooms?!"]]
** Basically any by itself, especally "Pu" (see "Poo" above), and any other symbols ending in "U" (for the same reasons of he "oo" words).
** The sequence of numbers, 8-8-7-1 (hachi hachi nana ichi)
*** Using the slightly less popular Japanese variation for "seven", the same sequence is "Hachi-Hachi-Shichi-Ichi.
** geso (squid tentacles for eating)[[hottip:*: We have [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Ika Musume]] to thank for that, [[VerbalTic de geso.]]]]
** sumo (a funny name for a funny sport)
** {{ninja}}
** Unputenpu (trusting something to chance). Fans of ''{{Kaiji}}'' will be familiar with this one.
** Kuuki versus Kukki: the first means "air," the second is the Japanese pronunciation of "cookie." [[HilarityEnsues You will get them mixed up.]]
** Many Japanese ''{{Pokemon}}'' names qualify as this, with many of them being portmanteaus of existing words:
*** Pikachu ([[{{Mondegreen}} "Pick a chew, any chew!"]])
*** Fushigisou (Ivysaur)
*** Shizarigā/Shizariger (Crawdaunt)
*** Roobushin/Roopushin (Conkeldurr)
