At a recent little get-together we just HAD to tell this joke.
If a person who speaks three languages is "tri-lingual", (we had three of those-see the ladies who look like they just might be able to get by in both Korean and Japanese? They could, and are also all completely fluent in English. Two are Korean and one is from Japan.)
And "bi-lingual" is a person who speaks two languages, (We had one of those there too. She's from a European country. She was behind the camera so, you can't see her.)
What is person who is fluent in only one language called?
(The two in the photo meet the description and the definition.)
First comment with the correct answer gets a SUNNY point.
(hint: it is not "mono-lingual")
