    The French girl said she was from Northern France. The reason why her vocabulary is similar to the one in Québec is because many French Canadians' ancestry is from Normandie, Picardie and Bretagne, all regions in northern France.
    A lot of words in the québécois vocabulary are words that survive from middle French. You have to think about it this way: canadien culture became insular after it lost its connection to the motherland in 1763 and evolved independently from metropolitan France.
    Regarding the word "peanut", French Canadians will say "pinotte" and "arachide". Cacahuète is seldom used. Cacahuète is actually a borrowed word from Nahuatl (Aztec language), "cacahuatl". There are quite a few words borrowed from indigenous languages in French such as "caoutchouc" (rubber) and "maringouïn" (moustique/mosquito).
    About "liqueur", I think this is better explained when you look at the history of soda. It was initially made as medicine. "Liqueur" was also used as a colloquial for liquid medicine. It's one of those preserved old words from middle French.

      Do people in the south of France say septante for seventy too?? To me it's really fascinating how only regions under *direct* French influence, such as France, Canada, etc. use multiplication-form for numbers, while Francophone regions out of French control such as Wallonia or Romandy use the single form. Did all Francophone lands use this form too at some point?

      @@intreoo Nobody in France say septante no. This strange way to count come from celtic heritage. In celtic language from 1 to 20, there was one word for each number, while in roman language there was a single word from 1 to 10 only. For exemple in celt 40 = two-twenty, 60= three-twenty, 80 = four twenty; that's why we say four twenty in french for 80.
      So there was a mix between celtic and roman way to count.
      You can see that in english aswell, for exemple you don't say ten-one for 11, it has its own word, eleven

      There's a historical reason for the way the french count like that starting from 70. It's because the gauls used to count on the base of 20. Which is why it's 4x20 for 80 or 4x20 + 10 for 90.
      Belgium and Switzerland idk for sure but I think it's because they were influenced by their germanic neighbors. (don't quote me on this I could be wrong).

    Many words we use in French Canada, that sound like they came from english, are actually the original French words that where adopted by the English under Norman rule.
    For instance, we still sometimes say “va chercher la malle”, for “go and get the mail”. The word mail actually comes from the French word malle (the bag or suitcase used to carry letters by the mailman).

      People sometimes forget how entangled the history of English and French is.
      When they're old fashioned words, odds are they're English via Anglo-Norman, and Quebecois via northern dialects.
      When they're recent words, odds are they're English directly borrowed.

      Born and raised in British Columbia here, French is not my native language, but it is compulsory in elementary schools (I think federally) and I took two years of French immersion in middle school. These are exactly the words we learned in class as well (i.e. boisson gazeuse, arachide, pomme de terre, soixante dix, diner...)
      In grade 7 (so 12 years old) we went on a week-long trip to Quebec, and I remember not understanding anyone very well when I first got there, but that probably had more to do with my inexperience. We were mostly in rural Quebec, and were only in Montreal for a day or so, but even then there was a difference in accents. It's a lot of fun comparing!

    For anyone interested, the Belgian numbers (septante, nonante) come from Old French and were once used more widely in France. The forms huitante and octante also show up in some dialects, such as some in Switzerland, Acadia, Vaud, and Valais. The extinct Anglo-Norman dialect also had these numbers (i.e setaunte, uitaunte, nonaunte; though, many different spellings/versions existed in AN). The Standard French system is believed to be a relic of the Pre-Roman Gauls, who probably used a vigesimal (base 20) counting system

    "Breuvage" is an odd one. Like most words present in both French and English, it came from French. But it passed into English back when it was actually "Beverage" in French, and the French form changed while the English one didn't. That's unusual.
    "Pinotte" is hilarious just because of how ridiculously Québécois it sounds despite coming from English, though we do say "cacahuète" and "arachide" as well.
    I think "Septante", "Octante" and "Nonante" are super cool, but in Québec they are largely unknown. It doesn't help that months have been displaced by two, with SEPTembre being the 9th month, OCTObre being the 10th, NOVembre being the 11th, and DÉCembre being the 12th.

      "Breuvage" comes from the verb "abreuver", which in french (even in Québec) specifically means to give something to drink to an animal 😂
      And while some people in Québec say "pinotte", the vast majority of people actually say "arachide".

  • @patricehirrien6052

    Quatre-vingt comes from the gaulish language. There are still a few words in French that have a gaulish origin like "braies" for "pantalon" (bragou in Breton): trousers, or "bruyère" for "feather" ("brug" in Breton). In the celtic languages like Breton or Welsh, the number 40 is 2×20, 60 is 3×20, etc. It is a kind of archaism in these languages, at a time the people were counting with their hands and feet. The French language inherited from this gaulish archaism, the same as the one in their cousin insular celtic languages that are Welsh and Breton, in opposition with the other roman rooted languages that are the cousins of French this time. So, the Belgian and the Swiss are more in the tradition of the roman rooted languages.

    It is worth noting that in Canadian English, the last meal of the day is also traditionally called supper! In this respect, Canadian French and Canadian English are conveniently in agreement. Québecois French simply preserves the original meal names from France before mealtimes shifted and the concept of petit déjeuner arose as dîner was pushed to the end of the day.

      In any case it is not logical to have a déjeuner as a second meal of the day as it means breaking the fast, the same way as breakfast (jeuner=fasting)., If you already broke the night fast with a croissant or something else, you cannot break it again at noon.

But I'm also from the Anglo part of Canada that uses both "dinner" AND "supper" for the evening meal. There's other parts of Canada where that's different as well.

      Arachide is the correct term for peanut in Canadian French (including Quebec). Pinotte/peanut is a more familiar/informal form. The jar of peanut butter never says "beurre de pinotte". It says beurre d’arachide. Cacahouète is understood but distinctly foreign French (and also the catchphrase of an old children’s TV show character).

The only person I’ve ever heard use liqueur for soft drink is my grandma, so, in Montreal we would probably associate that term with elderly people and people from outside Montreal. In Montreal, we will say “boisson gazeuse” (gassy beverage?). But, if someone asks you “as-tu de la boisson?” (Do you have a beverage?) they’re asking if you have alcohol. For something non-alcoholic (though it could be alcoholic), while “breuvage” is fine (though a bit… oldish), we will definitely usually just go with “quelque chose à boire” (something to drink).

And "brevage" is also a french word and it is more likely that the english version comes from french instead of english word imported in french and it has a mining in french. We use it with a higher level of speaking like if you talk about a special bear made with special and different corns you can talk about a "brevage" but it's more the way we produce a "boisson". For liquor we say liqueur but we can also use "spiritueux" which is every bevrage stronger then bear and wine which would be alcohol but "spiritueux" is more a name of qualification we never use it during a meal during a meal we say "apéro/apéritif" if the liquor is before the first meal and we say "digestif" when it is after the desert but the "apéro/apéritif" is more like a cocktail or liquor diluated into something and the "digestif" would be more like limoncelo, amareto, grappa etc, stronger at the end of the meal.

      We have our own dialect of French in northern Ontario, which is less similar to Parisian than Quebecois. Quebecois is not the only variety in Canada, also some other dialects in the maritimes. What the Ontario School system teaches is Parisian French though. There are like 10ish languages in France, one of which is not really related to French (still a Romance language, Occitain is about as close to French as French is to Italian or Spanish, the other Western Romance languages).

      Yeah I grew up in Toronto and learned European (Metropolitan) French in our public education in the 1990s and 2000s. I actually didn't know my French was different than our native language until I tried picking up French again. There's another video where they compare like 30 word differences between Quebec and France. I knew 26 of the French words and 8 of the Quebecois words. I can also understand French from France decently well but Quebec French is difficult for my ear to pick up. Despite being Canadian, I'll probably just continue learning the European variety to fluency.

    This is very fascinating. I am an anglophone from South Africa where we speak British English with a South African flavour. However, I have travelled to Québec Province multiple times and I'm very aware of the differences between rural and urban French in Canada. Also, there are distinct differences between Canadian and continental French.
    I'm open to correction here, but a few of the differences I've noted are that for 'You're welcome" francophones say 'de rien', but Québecois say 'bienvenu'. I think that, in rural Canada at least, the language is old Southern France. I think that's the case with words like 'breuvage'.
    There are also differences between Belgian and French French. One, which makes a lot of sense to this old anglophone is that (according to what I've been told) 90 in Belgium is simply 'nonante' which seems a lot more sensible than the French (and Canadian) 'quatre vingt-dix' which seems like an echo of the old English 'four score'.

My French friend from the Alps, also understood "Pomme de Terre". When I went to Quebec, I was confused as to why they say "Patate", but it sounds like both are correct. But I do remember seeing "Pomme de Terre" on a restaurant menu in Quebec, but it was a dish made from potatoes and there was something else in front of it. It said "Something de Pomme de Terre".

    Quebocois is less influenced by English, we made up some of our own words for things, instead of taking the already available English words. Similar vain, Kentucky Fried Chicken is KFC in France, but PFK in Quebec, because there are emotions attached to using French words instead of English ones. The French in France just don't care that much, they have not had problems with their government trying to wipe out their language and force English on them, which the British and Canadian governments have tried on basically everyone that didn't speak English in the Empire. On the other hand, in France there are other languages that have historically had problems and the French government has tried to replace with French.
    Lots of words are from older forms of French and are archaic in France, like bevrage. English got beverage from French, not the other way around. Some areas, like in Cape Breton or rural Ontario, also have their own local dialects with older vocab.

      It's not about being more or less influenced by English, it's just that Quebecois was influenced during another period, thus differently than standard french. Standard french adopted english words relatively recently, while quebecois did it a long time ago, and stopped at some point (through reforms) to preserve the language. That's why you have english words in quebec that aren't used in france, but also words in english in france that are in french in quebec.

    We definetly use "soixante-dix" and "quatre-vingt dix" in French from France whereas French from Belgium might sound more logical : cinquante (50), soixante (60)....septante (70), so logical ! However, when I worked in finance, some broking companies in France used French from Belgium to avoid confusion. Many transactions were dealed on the phone and when a trader and a broker agreed on a stock at soixante-dix, you didn't know if it was 70€ (soixante-dix) or 60.10€ (soixante dix) as we almost never said the comma on the phone (it was actually 60.10). But septante dix was crystal clear : 70.10€ . In conclusion, in some very specific contexts, we use septante, huitante (even the Belgians don't use this one) and nonante. I worked in two broking companies and that was so. I don't know if it is still the usage, I left finance almost 20 years ago. Things might have changed ever since.
    I'm also from North of France and actually people from the North are pretty familiar with the Belgian septante / nonante. And btw, in the North of France, 20 (vingt) is pronounced [vinte] with the final t whereas most of France pronounce [vin] (you don't hear the final t). ;-)

Montreal and its suburbs and surrounding towns usually have a more Frenglish dialect (pinotte for peanut instead of arachid or cacahuete) while the Northern parts usually sound more Old French and taking more care to enunciate they words.

      En France, on dit cacahuète qui vient de l'espagnol, lui-même venant de la langue amérindienne nahuatl. C'est pour ça que l'on prononce cacachouète le u espagnol se prononçant ou.

    Pour le Coke, mise à part de l'usage de liqueur (utiliser à tort), nous utilisons plus couramment boisson gazeuse; à ne pas confondre avec les eaux gazéifiées ou eaux pétillantes.
    L'origine de l'usage de liqueur (douce) est une traduction et une substraction de l'expression Anglaise "soft drink"
    Au Québec, " a hand bag" est un sac à la main (sans anses) mais plus couramment appelé sacoche main celle avec une sangle à l'épaule s'appelle un sac à bandoulière.

    It's so funny because as a Montrealer, we have our own accent and slang, probably strongly influenced by the different waves of immigration. Meggan is from Québec city, so using more colloquial/regional Quebec French. I can totally picture it when she said she realized that she speaks differently when she moved to Montreal! This was a nice one, which we had some African and Carribean French speaking folks too, would have been cool to see the differences!

      @intercepte they could have subbed it. as a French speaker, it makes no sense to hear other French people discuss how their language varies in another region. would have loved to hear them have French conversations amungst themselves and actually hear the difference. this type of video/channel only works in this English format if all parties speak English. to try and monetize the format and try the cookie cutter method onto other languages while not adjusting on the core discussion dialect is a fail.

    As someone from anglophone canada, who nonetheless gets to read french on food packaging, i was really surprised not to hear "arachide" when they were talking about peanuts. Every jar of peanut butter and every bag of peanuts, every allergy label, says "arachide", not "pinotte"

      I've always thought arachide was a generic term for nuts. Well I'm wrong but to be fair the word is more use here when you talk about allergy. Cacahuete is more used.

    Boisson in Quebec French means Alcohol, liquor. Brevage includes everything you can drink. Alcohol or not. If you ask for liqueur as in Alcohol, you'll ask for "Liqueur de fruit" or "Liqueur de café " you'll specify.

    Being from Montréal, for a soda I'd say Boisson Gazeuse, and alcohols are Spiritueux (spirits) or alcohol. We say Sacoche but it comes from the bag that we were putting on horses.
