As a french myself, I must say the language is in fact quite unforgiving to new learners. Literally 90% of words can have a sexual connotation (and the other way around) if you want it to. Example: the french say “putain” to express literally any emotion. Putain means whore (loosely translated), but depending on the way you say it, it can express disbelief, happiness, sadness, regret, surprise, and so on…
But noone uses "putain" anymore to speak about a whore, it is an old word in this acceptation, now we say "une pute" to talk about prostitutes. Putain is only an interjection and a swearword like "dangit", but with wider sense and possibilities to be used anywhere in a sentence
Kilian Merlet I’m french too and I also think that the «yes» works better. Also, «god» is speaking in english so it makes sense if «french» speaks in english too even though it could have been funny too if «french» said «Oui» because it represents the french language. Anyway, who cares, its a youtube comment after all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I'm French and I definitely agree. Everything we are saying can have a sexual connotation. That's why the "that's what she said" is so funny in France.
I'm a native French speaker and I feel like in most of these situations people would understand what you mean without thinking too much of it. Maybe it would brighten their day a little to hear a sexual inuendo.
The one with the preservatives though 😂 I think it depends of the person you're talking to. Someone with a decent English would understand, but someone with little to no knowledge of the English language would think you're crazy
@@dafungusdemon8143 Actually, I'm from Quebec. If you said that here, people wouldn't think at all about condoms, cause we call them condoms/capote. Even in France, I feel like if you're a waiter you probably hear that word pretty often related to food..

In italian there's "Polluzione", which looks and sounds a lot like "pollution", but actually is the medical term for when you ejaculate while you're sleeping.
"Excité" never ceases to confuse me, because while most of the time I've been told to avoid it because it means horny, _sometimes_ French people actually use it _unironically_ to actually mean excited. I've heard it on kids shows 😂😭 Looking at the dictionary, you get quite a variety of different meanings 😫 (1) horny (2) excited (3) worked up and (4) stimulated [caffeine, drugs, etc] not to mention in the noun form it can mean either a hothead/troublemaker or a neurotic person... 🧐 Either way, I think I'm still going to avoid ever using it just in case 😂😂😂
French people are highly contextual. Reading the atmosphere, intonations/facial expression/whatever and between the lines helps you get the true meaning behind the words. What surprises me is hearing french people would feel offended by a foreigner's mistake. I think it would make us smile more than anything 🤔 And maybe even play further on that little misunderstanding 😏
@@quelqunx7470 it depends wether you are "excité" for something, which would generally be the excited or if something "excite" you then it generally means you are horny. e.g. "je suis excité de vous rencontrer" (I'm excited to meet you) or "elle m'excite" (she makes me horny)
@@champiggyfrm_pig5271 probably, but french people like to mock as a mark of affection 😌 saying things plainly is boring i think. We just like to play.
"Je suis chaud" is not typically used for saying "I'm horny", it can mean something like "I'm ready" or "I'll do this crazy thing right here and right now"
This is specific to France and not to the French language. This is not even something we say in Quebec and we associate this directly to France or european based French people sometime.
as someone who has spent years going to a french immersion school, this was really accurate and painful to watch because what they don’t teach you in school is the *dirty* french phrases and words so you’re never warned
Yeah that sounded really weird to me when I realised that coke was for cola in america... first time I've seen this in a movie I was really confused until I've understood the thing 😂
Now I understand why the phrase "Pardon my French" is used when we say naughty, rude things. Not because the French people are considered rude, but because their language is an innuendo minefield just waiting to blow.
Lavender actually more specifically "pardon my French" is only supposed to be used when you say "fuck" because "phoque" (pretty much the same pronunciation) is seal (the animal) in French. Although now people use that phrase for any cussing, I believe that's the true root of the phrase.
I'm French, and I have to say that it's a myth that we're offended if the pronunciation isn't correct. Our language has so many different accents that a student of everyday French wouldn't even be able to understand an accent from the north of France. If some people make funny faces when the pronunciation is unusual, I think it's more out of fear of not understanding the conversation in progress, but nobody is offended by pronunciation in France. It's a myth. We're nice to people who make the effort to speak French.
I'm not sure you can say it's a myth tbh, these people definitely exist, but it's true its not as widespread as a lot might believe (still more than in most cultures tho ig, around Paris at least)
@@isferis Are you French or have you been to France? It's not an arrogant question, I just want to know. Maybe you've lived or seen it, and that's sad. But I stand by my point, I really can't imagine a French person getting angry about a pronunciation. Sometimes they laugh, or don't understand, but to get angry I really find hard to believe. The only anger I can imagine is the anger of a southern Frenchman who hears the accent of a Parisian Frenchman, but it's not because of the pronunciation itself, it's just that the two populations hate each other.
@@Mr_Sim Je suis français aussi, ça sort pas de mon cul. Je trouve ça pas mal qu'y aie des gens qui trouvent ça limite inconcevable, puisque ça prouve que non tous les français ne vont pas venir te sauter à la gorge parce que t'as mal prononcé une syllabe, mais je l'ai déjà vu arriver. Après la colère n'est de toute façon pas la réaction la plus fréquente, perso j'ai plus vu des moqueries (ce qui est sûrement pire mais est un autre problème), mais y a quand même quelques personnes qui s'énervent, c'est pas tout le monde, mais ça existe.
When President John F. Kennedy went to West Berlin to show solidarity, he said, "Ich bin ein Berliner." But that was wrong, he should have said, "Ich bin Berliner." [a resident of Berlin]. "Ein Berliner" meant (a pastry like a jelly doughnut). So you see, baked goods are a minefield!
In our French class we had to learn Bible verses n stuff and it was the most confusing thing figuring out the "blessé" does not mean blessed, but instead injured/to curse
Once, when I was learning French, I went to buy an ice cream. I went into the shop and said 'bonjour, je prends une glace, s'il vous plaît, une boule de la vanille et une boule de la fraise' - 'hi, I'll have an ice cream, please, one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry'. Well, so far so good - I'd learnt this bit off. Then your man starts putting my ice cream in a little bowl, and I really want to tell him, 'no, can I have a cone, please?' but I don't really have the words to do that. So, instead I say 'monsieur, non, non, non... je voudrais... erm... un con?' I get a confused look, so I proceed to mime holding an ice cream cone in one hand whilst vigorously pointing with the other hand where the ice cream should go, meanwhile repeating the word 'con', for some reason imagining that the message will eventually be telepathically conveyed. Your man clearly things I'm taking the piss here, and he puts my ice cream in a bowl as quickly as possible, then I pay, and he mutters something angry under his breath as I walk away. Understandable when you realise I said to him 'sir, no, I want a cunt', and then start miming sex with my hands whilst repeating 'cunt, cunt, cunt...'. Fml....
I'm French. I once met two tourists in the streets who were repeatedly trying to read the name of a store, Printemps (it means Spring). Except they kept pronouncing it "Putain" (= whore). Basically they were just saying "Putain" over and over again so I lent an ear and figured they were talking about the store and, er, did my job to ensure them a comfortable stay by correcting their pronounciation. They didn't seem as embarrassed as I would have been lol
That's true for a lot of languages. Sometimes I feel like there's not enough words when I use the same "mouth" for both human little mouths and for giant void full of razor sharp teeth
+Marianne Yang If you actually go to a place where they speak a different language for any length of time you will learn much faster than if you are just taking classes or reading books.
It's probably easier for him because he's Canadian. He likely heard French as a baby before he could speak so he never lost his ability to discern French language sounds. Babies have the ability to discern all sounds from all languages but we abandon foreign language sounds after we learn to speak.

@@ummnaim5862 Dude, the only reason it’s harder for you to learn French is because you don’t live in a French environment, otherwise at the beginning we had to work hard too , more than english people, don’t believe.
My french teacher told us that if we ever go to france and need to ask a french person something, we first have to say that we're not very good at french, in french. Otherwise they'll pretend that they don't know english
Thats because french people for the most dont speak english at all. They dont act like they don't understand. A french person who speaks english would be glad to help you.
@ZoSTeD Basically yes... in class, it's not the same. I can manage, but I'm not that good, and my classmates can barely say "hello, how are u ?" (hardly exaggerating !) I think the problem is the way English is taught in France. We really should review our language learning methods. But I'll always be happy to help people who need it, whether they are English, Russian or French !
Kaynouky Thats the one thing that stops me from talking in person with others in french. Sure I can read and write it but I cant understand a word theyre saying. It comes out too fast and jumbled that it is meaningless to me.
I was in a boulangerie in the south of France and they wouldn’t serve me until I pronounced “trapezoid” absolutely correctly without any trace of my Australian accent.

the problem with French (has a French) is that the way you speak is heavily based on the social relation you have with someone, what generation you are, and things like "verlan" (basically inverting most words syllable) and even double and triple "verlan" so even if you learn how to speak french, it's gonna be a nightmare to comprehend people in the street.
@@ledocteur7701 Well yeah, but that can pretty much be the case for any language. Imagine a situation where someone who's only learned textbook English at like a B2 level moves to the US to an area that has a lot of speakers of the African American vernacular ("ebonics"), with a lot of slang. They ain't gonna understand shit at first.
I am french and technicaly, you can say "Je suis exité de..." and it will work like "I'm exited to...", same for "...introduit à..." which also work as "...introduced to..."
Non french speaker learning french for years and actually having a good accent: Ok now I can understand them! French ppl: Sah quel plaisir; wesh gros; bien ou bien

No they don't get annoyed. It's the same anywhere in France dude, period, I worked in Grenoble, cause I'm french, and the way people there treat foreigners who can't speka french is really atrocious. They mock them and blame them for not speaking french saying shit like "in france you speak french that's all", but hey come on, I also spent quite a time across the borders and I barely know a french dude who will do the effort of learning a foreign language.

As a German guy who is currently trying to survive French in school and might be absolutely wrong on that: exité is the male version, the female one is exitée, but it is only distinguished in writing.

« At this point you’re probably thinking, is there anything that doesn’t have a sexual connotation in French? » Nope. If you’re learning French please don’t get discouraged, jokes and puns about sex are just our way of dealing with the fact that we’re all depressed, you’ll get used to it😂😂

Haha don't worry XD This is a funny video, no need to take it seriously, but yeah, sometimes be careful And if you want an another "tip" he didn't mentioned in the video, you probably know there are some words that have a "masculine version" and a "feminine version" (if you know what i mean) Well try to not use "chienne" (female dog in French) or "chatte" (female cat) even if your teacher tells you to do it, because "chienne" can means "whore" and "chatte" can means "pussy" But you can use those terms, just don't use it in front of...

I think it's the same with Spanish, it's very unusual that people use "excitar" for context that aren't sexual, if you want to communicate in an effective way with people there's norms you have to follow, independent if that word has others uses. C'est la vie.
When you're studying a language academically, you learn fucking fast. I went to an English college only knowing the basic and with a really noticeable accent. After 6 months my English (spoken and written) went from simplistic to academic standards.

Honestly, you can say “excité”to mean “excited” most of the time (not always) but it just depends of the maturity of the person you’re talking with.

Now I understand why the phrase "Pardon my French" is used when we say naughty, rude things. Not because the French people are considered rude, but because their language is an innuendo minefield just waiting to blow.
Lavender actually more specifically "pardon my French" is only supposed to be used when you say "fuck" because "phoque" (pretty much the same pronunciation) is seal (the animal) in French. Although now people use that phrase for any cussing, I believe that's the true root of the phrase.
Romanian is the same.
Mind blown
waiting to blow eh
add an ah to fuck and thats the pronunciation for seal in spanish.
French: You have fifteen letters, you pronounce three.
English (American): Go into the army, but you cant drink beer
Nice green shit queue is pronounced q
Eyad Gaming it’s more cul that’s pronounced q
Every word has 5 variation minimun but they are all pronounced the same
Yeah, our language is rly stupid
I'm French, and I have to say that it's a myth that we're offended if the pronunciation isn't correct. Our language has so many different accents that a student of everyday French wouldn't even be able to understand an accent from the north of France.
If some people make funny faces when the pronunciation is unusual, I think it's more out of fear of not understanding the conversation in progress, but nobody is offended by pronunciation in France. It's a myth. We're nice to people who make the effort to speak French.
I'm not sure you can say it's a myth tbh, these people definitely exist, but it's true its not as widespread as a lot might believe (still more than in most cultures tho ig, around Paris at least)
@@isferis Are you French or have you been to France? It's not an arrogant question, I just want to know. Maybe you've lived or seen it, and that's sad. But I stand by my point, I really can't imagine a French person getting angry about a pronunciation. Sometimes they laugh, or don't understand, but to get angry I really find hard to believe.
The only anger I can imagine is the anger of a southern Frenchman who hears the accent of a Parisian Frenchman, but it's not because of the pronunciation itself, it's just that the two populations hate each other.

Once, when I was learning French, I went to buy an ice cream. I went into the shop and said 'bonjour, je prends une glace, s'il vous plaît, une boule de la vanille et une boule de la fraise' - 'hi, I'll have an ice cream, please, one scoop of vanilla, one scoop of strawberry'.
Well, so far so good - I'd learnt this bit off.
Then your man starts putting my ice cream in a little bowl, and I really want to tell him, 'no, can I have a cone, please?' but I don't really have the words to do that. So, instead I say 'monsieur, non, non, non... je voudrais... erm... un con?' I get a confused look, so I proceed to mime holding an ice cream cone in one hand whilst vigorously pointing with the other hand where the ice cream should go, meanwhile repeating the word 'con', for some reason imagining that the message will eventually be telepathically conveyed. Your man clearly things I'm taking the piss here, and he puts my ice cream in a bowl as quickly as possible, then I pay,
and he mutters something angry under his breath as I walk away. Understandable when you realise I said to him 'sir, no, I want a cunt', and then start miming sex with my hands whilst repeating 'cunt, cunt, cunt...'.
Fml....
Hahahahahahaha, but con is more like a very vulgar way of saying dumb idiot

excité means restless
we usethat a lot when someone ask us to do something. "Do you wanna drink beers ??" Je suis chaud
the problem with French (has a French) is that the way you speak is heavily based on the social relation you have with someone, what generation you are, and things like "verlan" (basically inverting most words syllable) and even double and triple "verlan" so even if you learn how to speak french, it's gonna be a nightmare to comprehend people in the street.

I think it's the same with Spanish, it's very unusual that people use "excitar" for context that aren't sexual, if you want to communicate in an effective way with people there's norms you have to follow, independent if that word has others uses. C'est la vie.
@@averybadvictoria6777 '' C'est la vie '' mean '' it's life '' lol.
@@mortalk7445 what's wrong?
@@trollconfiavel nothing.
Your accent is pretty good, and impressive considering you got it in only five months.
And the "U" sound was handled pretty well.
When you're studying a language academically, you learn fucking fast. I went to an English college only knowing the basic and with a really noticeable accent. After 6 months my English (spoken and written) went from simplistic to academic standards.
Survivorship bias. Those who do not develop the perfect accent in five months do not come home.
