/vietnamese joke. text translation: If Four got dipped in soy sauce (vie: Nước Tương) people would people would call it Tương Tư (image: Four dipped in soy sauce) (this word means 'remembering someone you romantically love'. but Tương is soy sauce, and Tư is one of the ways to say four)
#this joke hinges on the fact that you read four as the Nôm pronounciation#and not the sinoviet (Hán)#because it would be Tứ#which wouldnt work#on a similar vain#nếu-#nếu Four đặt câu hỏi#if Four ask a question#ngta sẽ gọi là Tư Vấn#we would call it Tư Vấn#(vấn is the sinoviet reading for 問#means to ask)#but tư vấn is Inquiry#諮問#lu four
