Jokes about the Japanese language
People often make jokes about the Japanese language, because it has some features that are difficult for native English speakers to understand. For example, there are three different writing systems (kanji, hiragana, and katakana), and the spoken language is full of Honorifics and Keigo (polite language).
Here are some examples of jokes about the Japanese language:
-Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side of the street! (This is a play on words, because in Japanese, the word for “road” (道) is pronounced “michi”, which sounds like “chicken” (鶏)).
-Why did the duck cross the road? To get to the other side of the pond! (This is another play on words, because in Japanese, the word for “pond” (池) is pronounced “ike”, which sounds like “duck” (鴨)).
-Why did the mosquito cross the road? To get to your blood!(This one just doesn’t make sense in English…)
These jokes might not be quite as funny if you don’t know anything about the Japanese language, but hopefully they give you a chuckle anyway!
