A tortilla as a tapa

To the next lesson

The next sentence: Una tapa de tortilla de patata.

In this place everyone wears shorts, so they are naked from the waist down (una). You are holding a cup with a picture of your dad on it (tapa – from the German “Tasse” and “Papa”, “cup” and “dad”). When you are asked what you would like, you think first (de) and then say you would like a tortilla (tortilla). It should be stretchy so that you can give your dad a piece; he cuts it into piano keys and throws them into the cup (de patata – from the German “dehnbar”, “stretchy”, and “Papa”, “Tasten”, “Tasse”).
