1. Cur est circus calidus? (circus - circle)
2. Quid habet collum et nullum caput, duae arma sed nullus manus? (nullus - no or none)
3. Cur mons tectus cum ningo non capit coldum (coldum - a cold, tectus - covered, ningo - snow, capio - take or sieze)
Wow! These riddles are alot harder!
ReplyDeleteI was able to translate numbers one and two, but the others had some words I could not find in the dictionary.
Did you move to the Intermediate level?
Number one was: "Why did the woman wear a helmet through dinner?" Lots of ideas came up for that one but none of them really fit.
I can't wait to see the answers when you post them.

Clara, these were listed as easy riddles. Maybe I need to supply vocabulary help under each riddle.

Putting some vocabulary would definitely help for the unfamiliar words in each riddle. Kyle thought that the riddle about the pants was hilarious, but I liked the, " What does the invisible man drink during meals?" "Evaporated milk!" Momma and Emilee thought that that one was funny, also. I'm enjoying the riddles that you post each week. You are getting to be quite the blogger! :)
ReplyDeleteWe will see you tomorrow, Tuesday.

To pay for the milk, or to make it more valuable.
