Something that is sticky is something that fixes or sticks itself to other things. However, we often form adjectives by adding a "y" to a noun in English (for example, something that is very sweet is "sugary"). Here the dog thinks that sticky means "like a stick".
有什麼是sticky的呢？狗狗回答他的朋友是stick。大家要留意，名詞加了個y不等於變成近意的形容詞，stick是木棍，sticky是黏黏的，一字之差，但木棍肯定不是黏的。■漫畫&說明︰英國文化協會
