Once I was on a party. I saw a boy that I met before but I couldn't remember his name. The music was very high and I ask to a friend that was close to me:
- What's the name of that boy?
-Quim (short of Joaquim)-he said. But I understood "quin?" what means "Which one?" in Catalan. So I repeated:
- That one with blue shirt...
- ... Qim, said again.
- That one over here with blue shirt and long hair...
- Quim. His name is Quim!
-Oh! I'm sorry. I though you were asking me "QUIN" !!!!(which one?)
