Hey man. I love your video's. They are brilliantly crafted and your comedic timing is amazing. Plus you are nailing the French accent. Your video's make me smile everyday! Thank you for bringing a smile to our faces.
Seriously, you're videos are so funny. I can't stop laughing. But the best part is that I'm also learning new words and phrases in multiple languages. My native language is German. 😊
C’est juste tellement drôle 😂 Like I totally understand how difficult it is, even for me (I’m french by the way) it’s so hard like there is so many options for the sound "o". Believe I died many times for that 😂
That’s pretty funny :) The Faroese language doesn’t have any odd fainting sayings, as far as I know, but has some morbid “falling” sayings. For example: “He fell in between” = The man fell in between a boat and the harbor and drowned. That’s because it’s difficult to get out of the water when a boat is banging against you and the harbor. It pushes you under. “He fell downward” = The man fell off a cliff/steep mountainside and died. The Faroe Islands are basically all mountains, ocean and boats. 😅
Dude, I am having so much fun watching your videos. Having lived in France for two years I can’t get over how many goofy sayings there are. If you are crazy in English you have spiders in the attic in French. LOL! LMAO! 😂😂🤣🤣😅😅🤣🤣😂😂 I love the fact that you also Point out the goofiness in the English language
The "attic" here is just a figurative way to say the inside of your skull - top of a building, top of the body. In a building, spiders only live in the neglected corners, so if you have spiders in the attic, that means you neglected the attic. Hence, the idea of having spiders in one's "attic" = neglecting the insides of their skull i.e. irrational.
I mean, that's an idiom, of course they won't directly translate what they really mean whereas this being a verb, to faint meaning, "to fall into apples" is more ludicrous than an idiom being an idiom
Learning more idiomatic French from a youtube channel versus eight years of various levels of education... gdmit French... why do you enjoy this so much?
This is actually a game my boyfriend and I play! I'm French (Canadian) and he's American and we translate expressions word for word. For example J'ai les yeux dans la graisse de bine. My eyes are in the bean grease. OR... the cat's pajamas is now, Les pyjamas du chat. You should of seen his face when I said "Staple your tuque to your head!" (Attache that tuque avec d'la broche). Which is the same as hold on to your hats I suppose, but with a bit of a Québécois feel to it.
I'm French and I once entirely forgot how to say 'to faint' in an English test so I just... wrote 'fall into the apples'......
🤦🏻♀️ 😂
You could have just said "to lose consciousness" you know.

I have something similar:
Potato = Patate / Pomme de terre
In school (I’m French) I once write in an English test « I ate an apple of the earth »
In Greek potatoes are usually called: πατάτες.
Though there's also a rarely used, more formal, name: γεώμηλα (literally apples of the earth)
Aardappel in Dutch and Erdapfel in German
It's the same in Hebrew!
"תפוח אדמה" = "Earth Apple"
Honestly, it's a great name for it
Considering how french translate in english shouldn't pomme de terre mean earth's apple ?
