Spanish
jokes are very popular among the people in Punta Cana. Dominicans have
an amazing sense of humor and is clearly evident in their jokes. Some
of the jokes are easy to get while others are simply a bit hard to
understand.
One of the things about the jokes is that
you can use them to learn some Spanish while you are having fun. A
detail that you must keep in mind is that not all Spanish speaking
people talk the same way.
Depending on the country and even the region they might change some of the syllables for the same word.
Even in the northern part of the Dominican Republic they speak slightly
different than is southern counterpart. In the southern area they tend
to substitute the r letter for the L and in the northern part is more
common to change the r for an i.
One common joke is the following one: A policeman stops a person and say: “Hey, give me your name!” and the person answers: “then what would I call myself?!”.
- The way of saying the joke in
Spanish language would be like this: Un policía detiene a una persona
caminando y le dice “deme su nombre!, la persona le contesta:
“¡¿entonces cómo me voy a llamar yo?!”.

Another
of the multiple Spanish jokes is the next one: Juan visits a doctor.
Juan says: “doctor, I’m seeing pink elephants everywhere” then the
doctor says “have you seen a psychologist yet?” Juan answers: “no,
just pink elephants”.
- In spanish the joke goes like
this: Juan visita a un doctor. Juan dice: “doctor estoy viendo
elefantes rosas por todos lados”, el doctor le dice: “¿haz visto algún
psicólogo? Juan contesta: “no, sólo elefantes rosas”.

Some
of the Spanish jokes can a bit longer like this one: a Doctor calls his
patient named José. He says to José: “I have good news and bad news for
you”. José asks: “What are the good news?” The doctor says “The
analysis from the lab indicates that you have 24 hours to live” José
says: “Are those the good news? Then what are the bad news? The doctor
answers: “I have been trying to reach you since yesterday”.
- In
the Spanish language is something like: el doctor llama a su paciente
llamado José,
el doctor le dice: “Tengo buenas y malas noticias para ti”. José le
pregunta: “¿Cuáles son las buenas noticias?”. El doctor le contesta:
“Los análisis del laboratorio indican que tiene 24 horas de vida”. José
le dice: “¿Esas son las buenas noticias? ¿Entonces cuáles son la malas?
El
doctor le contesta: “He estado tratando de encontrarte desde ayer”.
