About this book

Español

Inchi farofe

Óliver Valencia va a la escuela General Piripitache y usa más de cien veces al día la palabra inchi. Hasta que un día tiene que decidir entre dejar de comer los platillos de su abuela y dejar de decirla, y lo mejor para él es elegir lo segundo. Sin embargo, Óliver no se siente satisfecho con esta palabra fuera de su vocabulario, por lo que inventa una nueva, farofe, cuyo significado es equivalente al de inchi. Y como nadie sabe qué quiere decir, puede usarla libremente sin que sus padres o sus profesores lo regañen. No obstante, al poco tiempo muchas personas también incluyen farofe en su vocabulario y su uso se extiende internacionalmente. La palabra hasta fue a dar al diccionario, y a Óliver lo entrevistaron especialistas en lengua y fue invitado a muchos programas televisivos alrededor del mundo. Pero Óliver está fastidiado por tanta atención a sus palabras inventadas, y tendrá que hacer algo al respecto para enderezar esta situación.

English

Inchi Farofe

Óliver Valencia goes to General Piripitache school and uses the word inchi more than a hundred times a day. Until one day he has to decide between stopping eating his grandmother's dishes and stopping saying it, and the best thing for him is to choose the latter. However, Óliver is not satisfied with this word out of his vocabulary, so he invents a new one, farofe, whose meaning is equivalent to inchi. And since nobody knows what it means, he can use it freely without being scolded by his parents or teachers. However, soon many people also included farofe in their vocabulary and its use spread internationally. The word even found its way into the dictionary, and Óliver was interviewed by language specialists and invited to many television programs around the world. But Oliver is annoyed by so much attention to his invented words, and he will have to do something about it to straighten things out.
