Far, får får får? Nej, får får inte får, får får lamm.

Meaning: får means both 'sheep' and 'gets' — seven identical-looking words carrying two different meanings.

Literally: Father, do sheep have sheep? No, sheep don't have sheep, sheep have lambs.

Origin: A Swedish favourite that works as both twister and pun; far can be swapped for farfar, or farfars farfar, to extend it.
