Funny, Fun, Entertaining



"Fun" is something enjoyable, and "funny" is something that makes people laugh.  Games and sports are "fun" but not normally "funny".

"Fun" es algo que es como "agradable", y "funny" es algo que hace personas reir.  Juegos y deportes son "fun" pero no normalemente "funny".
