- Tagalog tongue twister
While watching news awhile ago about the upcoming holy week for the Catholic and Christian devotees. I read the caption and I misread one word which is "pananampalataya" (faith in English), then I read it again loudly but it turns out to be funny because I really can't pronounce it correctly and fast.
Another word from my native language that tongue twister for me to pronounce is the "nakakapagpabagabag" (worrisome) word.
I wonder if there are tongue twisting words or sentence in your native language too. Care to share those. ◕‿◕

Tongue twister is really fun. :D

About the second word that I mentioned above, it was actually pronounce syllable by syllable like what I said to Evelyn. It's NA-KA-KA-PAG-PA-BA-GA-BAG. :)
I recently came across this one-- A mathematician can mathematise mathematics mathematically. So, if a mathematician can mathematise mathematics mathematically, why can't I mathematise mathematics mathematically like a mathematician, who mathematises mathematics mathematically?"
"A mathematician can mathematise mathematics mathematically. So, if a mathematician can mathematise mathematics mathematically, why can't I mathematise mathematics mathematically like a mathematician, who mathematises mathematics mathematically?"
Those two words you have mentioned are so tough to pronounce. First one(pananampalataya) is a bit easier than the second one(nakakapagpabagabag). But the second one is easy to remember-- Nakaka-pagp-a-bag-a-bag.
English:
Betty Baker got a bit of bitter butter. But she thought "if I put that butter in my batter it will make my batter bitter." So Betty Baker got a bit of better butter, and now her batter's better.
I don't think I'm brave enough to try those Tagalog tongue twisters. :)
Mandarin:
吃葡萄吐葡萄皮，不吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮。吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮，不吃葡萄倒吐葡萄皮。
四是四，十是十，十四是十四，四十是四十；谁把十四说“十适”，就打他十四；谁把四十说“适十”，就打他四十。
