Spanish questions use an upside-down opener before the first question word and a regular mark at the end. The upside-down question mark looks small, but it changes how Spanish reads.

A jest is a joke, playful remark, or act done for amusement, usually light in tone, not serious. Jest is a small word with a sharper edge than many learners expect. It can mean a joke, a playful act, or the act of joking. It often sounds more formal than joke, so it fits books,

An MLA translated-book entry names the author, title, translator, publisher, year, and page details when needed.
