The irony of writing the post in English, isn’t lost in you, is it?
Neaux
OP found it tough to thoroughly think this one through.
English mfs copying those words and once again changing their pronunciation <–
English is no much better… In contrast, Korean and Spanish are quite “what you write is what it sounds”
Also in Hawaiian. I was first told “just pronounce all the letters.” This is why you can have words that are all vowels like “Aiea” (basically “a-ee-ay-ya” but kinda fast).
that’s because fucking missionaries came in, created the written language and standardized the spoken language then beat all the children into compliance
then their children overthrew the island and beat them for speaking at all so it almost died and the revival was focused on survival of the language over nuance
it used to have much more spoken variation
Same with portuguese
the same with polish
Tell that to Mr Wajszczak. Try and get any non polish person to spell it after only hearing it. Then show the name to them, give them a minute to commit it to memory then get them to spell it again. Tried it on 5 different people so far, it’s hilarious every time.
i tried it with 2 people so far, and both of them got it correctly
If you ignore the randomly inserted z’s, that is
This are simply called digraphs, the same as spanish “ll”
And English doeszn’t have ranzdomly inserzted z’s?
EEE aaaaa uuuuuu.
Qwa?
EEEEE AAAAA UUUUU!
QWAAAA?
GIVE ME THE DAMN WATER
I believe it is a conspiracy by HP to make us use more ink.
English just saw the French doing this and said: hold my beer
Trageideigh has entered the chat…
Modern day Bordeaux
This needs the Mr. Bean meme of the English cheating off the French.
A lot of unpronounced letters are actually pronounced conditionally, for example in “Je suis un homme” the last s of suis is pronounced because it is followed by a vowel.
Je suis un omelete du fromaaaaage
It is pronounced z however, and not s
Je sui zun nomme
homme
Silent h. (Of courses there are some rare, non silent Hs)
Edit : actually the op was talking about the liaison between “
sanssuis” and “un” here. Though you do also do the same for the N of “un” and the O of “homme” in this sentence according to the same rules (and since that H is silent)Yup (btw op said “suis” not “sans” but it still works with it)
Note that somethimes the silent “h” prevents the liaison. ex: “des haricots”
Let’s not forget they were some of baddest mfers during the second world war
Edit: some French hating mfers in here‽ The French are some bad ass mfers! Don’t care what the doots say, I respect the French!
This is a weird comment but also confusing about why it’s being downvoted.
Is it cuz it’s so random or because people are idiots and think you’re wrong?
The French may have gotten collapsed but they fought tooth and nail the entire war.
The story is that Paris was taken in 6 hours, and that’s often used to mock the French for not resisting much. The truth is that Paris wasn’t damaged in the way London or Berlin were in WW2. Seems like a decent tradeoff in the end.
I know what “the joke” is, and it’s always been dumb.
Danish: hold my beer
Also Danish: you thought the French say ‘92’ in a convoluted manner? Hold my øl.
Tvo halvfems or something
Two half women ?
Mon deux!
Yeah, two can play at this game. 😌
I just learn the pronounciation of every individual word now.
I learned that some Canadians think they are French. Just like people from Louisiana.
We don’t think we are French. We speak french.
Oh hon hon.
Seriously… I speak English and some Spanish. French pronunciation is confusing as fuck. No wonder the English have always attacked them, lol
