Información sobre este tipo cuentístico: Description: Miscellaneous type. Two people who speak different languages cannot understand each other. One of them pronounces the words so that they seem to have a different meaning, or the words sound like different words in the other person's language. Often an absurd conversation leads to unexpected events [J2496.2, X111.7]. Cf. Types 1322, 1700. In some variants the misunderstanding happens because one person does not understand a foreign word (technical term). Or an ambiguous message (statement) leads to the discovery of a criminal (planned crime) [N275.2]. (Previously Type 1699A.) Cf. Type 1697.

Combinations: 1833.
