Sometimes Spelling and Vocab Errors are Funny

Hmmm it's been just over 2 weeks that I've been living and working in Guatemala, and I have of course made some language blunders. Please enjoy the highlights.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example 1)

I needed to stop at an ATM on the way home from church, and here is the conversation that followed:

Fredy: Necesitas comprar algo? Translation: Do you need to buy anything?
Me: No. Solomente necesito pegar Adrea para mi telefono. Translation: No. I only need to hit Adrea for my phone.

* Laughter followed, and I learned that PEGAR (pronounced "peh-gar," meaning to hit), though it sounds closely to PAGAR (pronounced "pah-gar," meaning to pay), has a slightly different meaning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example 2)

Me (to Nineth): Te gustas?

I meant to ask her if she liked the pancakes that Anna and Xaume made with M&Ms in them... but I actually asked her very sweetly, "Do you like yourself?" or something like "Do you please yourself?" instead. Annnd... everyone at the table laughed.

Woops?!
