      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)_/¯.

      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).

      Fun fact: signs in American Sign Language are more closely related to French sign language than to British sign language. It's because back in the days of America's 13 colonies British sign language teachers were expensive and French sign language teachers did it for free.

    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…

    • @especedelapin

    • @paulbarbat1926
      @paulbarbat1926 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    "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'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.

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.

      Hey Siri, what's the French word for entrée?
      "plat principal"
      Hey Siri, what's the French word for starter?
      "entrée"
      (yeah, I know that pair don't actually work in the UK - it's a North American thing... it makes for very screwy bilingual menus in Canada)
      Hey Siri, what's the French term for double entendre?
      "expresion à double sens"
      English has huge amounts of French words in it but the meaning's kind of off sometimes. Still, baguette is pretty painful.

      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.

    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....
