Paraguayan jokes often blend Spanish and Guarani languages, reflecting the country’s bilingual nature. A typical joke goes: “¿Cómo se dice ‘smartphone’ en guaraní? Pohãra’ãnga ñe’ẽmbohasa.” (How do you say ‘smartphone’ in Guarani? Magic picture that transmits words.) This playfully describes modern technology in indigenous terms. Another common joke is: “¿Por qué los paraguayos toman tereré? Porque la cerveza no cabe en el guampa.” (Why do Paraguayans drink tereré? Because beer doesn’t fit in the guampa.) This references the popular yerba mate drink and its traditional gourd container.
