Climbing Mount Everest

Punny Books

Per entrare nel meccanismo del gioco bisogna pronunciare all’inglese il nome e cognome dell’autore e ricavarne il significato nascosto.

        Yes, it is a question. Have you tried the Ingliando “Rebus” section (in the “Palestra”)?

  Ancora niente. Se cerchi “punny books” nel sito ti usciranno tutti gli altri già postati così forse entri meglio nel meccanismo.

  Dino, devi giocare di più con il “suono” (a doppio senso) del nome e cognome dell’autore.

    Dino, temo che non hai capito il meccanismo del gioco. Devi dire ad alta voce il nome e il cognome dell’autore del libro e poi cercare di capire cosa potrebbe significare (attinente ovviamente al titolo del libro) se NON fosse un nome e un cognome. Prendi per esempio il mio nome TONY – potrebbe essere anche TOE (dito del piede) e KNEE (ginocchio).

  Good effort. Close but not quite right. Think a bit more carefully about the pronunciation at the beginning. 😄

      You were closer with your first attempt.
      Let me give you a clue: it’s a question…

        So close. The problem with “we” is that the ‘w’ has to be pronounced and you would hear it in the name. Think of a pronoun where this isn’t the case…
