* Joke - 3:

La persona - 1: Y cua'nto me va usted a pagar?

La persona - 2: Depende de tu trabaja

La persona - 1: Oh! Tan poquito!

In English:

Person - 1: And how much are you going to pay me?

Person - 2: It depends on your work

Person - 1: Oh! So, less!


* Joke - 4:

El paciente: Doctor! Doctor! No puedo recordar nada

In this post, I wish to share my meagre knowledge in Spanish with you all in a different manner. This post is going to reveal the influence of Sanskrit on Spanish language. Because of the proximity of Hindi to Sanskrit, here, I have used Hindi words also and have referred those words as Sanskrit words.

Case - 1:

Spanish: La naranja - the orange (fruit)
Sanskrit: Narangi - orange fruit

Case - 2:

Spanish: puro - full
Sanskrit: pura - full

Case - 3:

Spanish: madura - ripe (For example: la fruta madura - the ripe fruit)
Sanskrit: maduram - sweet, honey like

Case - 4:

Spanish: el diente - the tooth
Sanskrit: dantha - tooth

Case - 5:

Spanish: el nombre - the name
Sanskrit: naam - name

Case - 6:

Spanish: la pierna - the leg

Based on my own understanding, I have furnished the aforesaid information. Any views, suggestions, corrections are welcome!
