Perle● Latina clasică este o limbă moartă, care nu se poate vorbi decât în scris. Dupa căderea Imperiului roman, o parte din latina clasică defunctă a devenit bulgară. Limba română are la bază latina bulgară, amestecată cu elemente de dacă şi o groază de cuvinte slabe. În secolul al XV-lea, limba vorbită de popor era considerată vulgară şi n-o vorbea nimeni. ● Poema “Mioriţa” circulă pe bază orală, adică nu a fost scrisă, din motive tehnice. În balada “Mioriţa” este vorba de trei ciobani care complotează împreună să-l omoare pe unul dintre ei. Ciobanul “Mioriţei” a spus ca la cap să-i puie diverse categorii de fluiere. ● Haiducii din doine, balade şi idile erau liberi şi fericiti ca păsările, animalele şi peştii care zburdă prin codri. De cum venea primăvara, haiducii cei harnici plecau în padure. Acolo ei cântau suflând din frunză şi lăsându-i pe boieri cu buza umflată. ● Mulţimile de boieri exploatatori îşi ţineau banii numerar în pungi. Haiducii îi atacau şi îi uşurau de bani în toate baladele. ● Balada e o specie a liricii populare inventată de Ciprian Porumbescu. ● Şcoala Ardeleană nu a avut propriu-zis sediu, din lipsa de fonduri austro-ungare. ● Alexandru Lapuşneanu s-a ţinut de cuvânt atunci când a spus: de ma voi scula, pre mulţi am să popesc şi eu! Dovada ca azi cel mai întâlnit nume este Popescu. ● Poezia “Sburatorul” de Ion Has Rădulescu este un omagiu adus aviatorilor români.● Mircea cel Bătrân a fost înmormântat la Cozia împreună cu umbra sa. ● În “Sobieschi şi românii” autorul descrie cum o mână de plăieşi au rezistat asediului perfid al puternicei armate din Iaşi. În final, plăieşii, se predau în mod eroic, lăsând cetatea Neamţului. ● Deşi s-a ocupat mai mult cu turismul, Calistrat Hogas vorbea latina la perfecţie. ● Dintre cele cinci scrisori trimise de Eminescu, prima este considerată a treia. În “Scrisoarea a treia” se desfăşoară bătălia de la Rovinari.● Toate personajele din “O scrisoare pierdută” sunt lipsite de incultură. ● Poliţistul Prispanda vorbeşte numai cu perle. ● Ora exactă a plecării trenurilor e de obicei mai devreme sau mai târziu, cum e norocul.● Sinonimele sunt cuvintele cu sens asemănător dar cu înţeles diferit.● Răscoale din spaţiul cosmic: războiul stelelor!● Ciocănitoarea este un animal care vesteşte venirea primăverii.● Personajele îşi îmbunătăţesc centrul cosmic.● Întrebare la biologie: -Ce este ţesutul vegetal? Răspuns: -Este o veche îndeletnicire a poporului român şi se practică la războiul de ţesut.● Sobieski înainta foarte greu spre Cetatea Moldovei pentru că drumul era neasfaltat.● Triunghiul este latura ce împarte unghiul în două laturi egale.● Ieri am citit 2 zile!

● Antonimul cuvântului original este Made in China.● Resursele naturale sunt de 2 feluri: naturale şi artificiale.● Când are loc fotosinteza? Fotosinteza are loc noaptea la lumina…● Nică mergea la scăldat îmbrăcat în pielea goală.● Cuvântul “copiii” este de gen neutru pentru că pot fi şi fete şi băieţi.

Glumiţe-Ce este peste centilitru? întreabă profesorul.-Decilitrul! răspunde elevul.-Dar peste decilitru?-Litrul!-Dar peste litru?-Dopul! răspunde elevul.

Copilul întreabă:-Bunicule ce sunt alea?-Cireşe negre.-Şi de ce sunt roşii?-Pentru ca sunt încă verzi.

Un tată avea doi copii, unul pesimist şi unul optimist. În fiecare zi cel optimist era zglobiu, cel pesimist era tot timpul plouat. De Crăciun tatăl s-a hotărât să îl facă fericit pe pesimist şi nefericit pe optimist. Aşa că i-a luat pesimistului o tonă de jucării şi optimistului un ham de ponei şi atât. Pesimistul când a văzut jucăriile a început să se plângă că acum toţi copiii la şcoală or să îl invidieze, că nu o să aibă timp să se joace cu toate etc., însă optimistul fugea râzând din cameră în cameră. Tatăl îl întreabă: - De ce râzi măi, că ai primit dar un ham şi atât?! - Da, dar trebuie să fie şi poneiul pe aici pe undeva!La această replică tatăl copilului nu se putu abţine şi îi cumpară copilului optimist un ponei! Morala?! Fiţi optimişti indiferent de situaţie şi vi se vor petrece neapărat doar lucruri bune până la urmă!
