An Englishman, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, and a German are all standing watching a street performer do some excellent juggling.

The juggler notices that the four gentlemen have a very poor view, so he stands up on a large wooden box and calls out, “Can you all see me now?”
“Yes” “Oui” “Si” “Ja”

Then, the juggler asked the Englishman, Frenchman, and the German if they used any board game to communicate with spirits.
Yes, oui ja.

Doesn't really work if read aloud.

For those who may not have got this joke their response happens to be heard as "Yes, we see you".

"Yes, we see ya" to be more precise 😀

This one's good. Although it's sí, not si. Si is if.
Jonathan_Peachum@reddit
In French but not in Spanish.
Areadien@reddit
"Si" is if in both French and Spanish, and "sí" is yes in Spanish

Whilst you are absolutely correct, I can confidently say, as an Argentinian who also has lived in Spain, that those words (Sí and Si) would sound exactly the same.
Jonathan_Peachum@reddit
« Si » is also « yes » in French when responding to a negative question.
But you are absolutely right, I hadn’t caught on to the use of the í in your response. Mea culpa and apologies.
Areadien@reddit
Yeah, but in this case, they already used "oui" for the French person.
Jonathan_Peachum@reddit
Indeed.
Renewed apologies.

I can’t argue with this in English, French, Spanish, or German.
