Chocolate: childhood games

Chocolate ⇒ Games, playing ⇒ childhood, friends

Hand gestures ⇒ languge, code ⇒ secret code among friends

These two paths brought me to something called “the f language” in Spanish. It is a funny way of communicating for children. The idea is to add a syllable with the letter “f” to each syllable within the word. For example, the name Kate would be “translated” to Kafa-Tefe. I thought it would be an interesting idea to pass this game to English. For this reason i “translated” some passages of a fairy tale, i chose Goldilocks, and this are the results.

“ wufunefesefe ufupofonafo afa tafamefe lifidefe Gofolifidifilofokofosofo afadafa thefe threfe Befeafarefesefe.”

“Shifi lefeifi dafaunefe of ofondofo thefe lafarafagefe befedefe -Thifisifi ifisiti tofo hafarafadefe- shifi sefedefe”

“Wefenefe thefeifi gofotofo upfusteferefesefe tofo thefe befedeferufumufu dafadifi befeafarefe grofoulederefe -sofomefewafanafa hafasafa befenefe slipfipifinfegete ofonofob mafa bederefe-”

I used the International Phonetic Alphabet when I was not sure of how to add the fa/fe/fi/fu sounds.
