Non-Australian uses the term "bloody"

Most people in France think language learning is boring, I guess.

why is this something to argue about?

don't understand this meme? There are no languages that maintain a pure line with no outside influence

I'm not arguing

Yeah, but influence from a different language family just sticks out.

Its pretty much liquid butterscotch that doesn't taste as nice

WE WUZ INVENTORS AND SHIEET

It's not really liquid IMO, it's thick like honey but not as sticky
Never had butterscotch (I think) so I can't offer a counterargument

I like the mix, it adds a layer of subtlety to writing, making the deliberate choice on which side to lean on can influence how the text is perceived

Using loads of Latin words just makes you sound pretentious, though.

That's true. But it kind of makes pronunciation difficult.

that's what i was talking about

sorry about that

It seems weird to me too. It is like I'm talking to animals. We are making stupid noises and seem to understand each other.

>American rolls their R

Oh wait.

English really.

It's from all over, but it seems to be falling off a bit which is quite sad.

I associate it with 40k orks more.

They're pretty much Cockney's desu.

Me too. I want more than anything for American cultural hegemony to die out

i dont think its leaving anytime soon. as long as people keep learning english we're all pseudoburgers under the surface

Non-english speakers who learn English tend to adapt the American way of speaking it. American influence is broad

>equibocado

I live in eastern Ontario and people say lad when referring to boys sometimes

is it annoying to you if people say words like croissant with french pronunciation?

i think it is even worse than that. some of those phrasings find their way into foreign languages translated word by word. so not only do non-native english speak copy those patterns when speaking english, they also incorporate them in their own languages. that's really sad.

What's the point, bros?

Saca de onda.

No, what annoys me is when people say words like "science" or "desire" or "omnipotent" in a butchered English pronunciation, because their spellings are kept untouched and don't reflect how they're pronounced.
It's a lot better when spellings are changed to reflect pronunciation, like "identity", "manner", "faith".

Does the inverse annoy you? Like if an English speaking person pronounced science the English way while speaking French

I live in the bilingual part of Canada so most people know better but I get how that's annoying

oi mate fuck you bloody cunt mate shiver me timbers avast me hearties

You sound a bit like Bane

No, because it doesn't stem from the same problem. The ability of the speaker is at fault here, and it's perfectly okay to be bad at French.

Well what’s the ideal way for non-native English speakers to speak English if we will not adapt to the ways of those existing ones especially American?

Thanks because I'm bad at French even though I'm trying to learn

One devoid of regional slang most preferably

If Australians casually call each other "cunt" what do you call someone when you're actually trying to insult them?

But isn’t using slang words a way of integrating, which is one of the things native English speakers complain about with immigrants/foreigners in their country?

no way, mate!

If you're going to live if that country or region it's more appropriate but I thought we were just discussing how people type or talk on the internet

Indeed, you are entirely right, buddy

these are two different issues in two posts you are replying to. of course when you speak english you need you need to learn the native speakers' patterns to sound natural. but what i am saying is you should not continue speaking in those patterns in your own language. i can't think of a good example but you can ask canadian francophones. they are exposed to english so much, they sometimes tend to construct french sentences in the same way as in english. for example in english we can say we "sit" on a committee meaning being a member but that doesn't work in french. i don't remember where i read that but i am not making this up.

There's also the fact that French even in France has picked up on some English words such as "cool"

>"sit" on a committee
That figure of speech originated in French. We say "siéger au parlement"(sitting at the parliament), "siéger au comité"(sitting at the committee).
Dunno where you get your sources, but they're wrong. Most of the words in English that you can't directly translate in French are those that stem from modern internet speak.

That's an argentine thing

I thought "mate" and "cunt" were pretty much interchangeable?

i thought that meant friend

OK maybe that's a wrong example. I can't find that source, but I am referring to un calque de l'anglais which basically means a half assed translation from English. There was a good article with different examples in different languages, not just French. Sometime those calques become accepted (if a bit cringy) but sometimes they are plain wrong usage.

Okay, THIS is epic

kind of, its only really bogans and abos that say 'cunt" in that way, the majority of the pop (i.e city normies) still find it offensive where as almost everyone says mate

So is it only preferable if you’re going to live in that country, but not when you’re just merely talking to people on the internet? Does it get annoying when a non-native English speaker do it? Does it look like they’re trying to fit in so hard, bud?

Yeah exactly since you’re very exposed to that kind of pattern, it’s inevitable sometimes to talk in your native language in the same pattern as when you speak English. I guess I see your point how it’s sad sometimes because it’s as if they’re forgetting their own

Ah found it, it is a bit subtler. Regarding "sit on" vs "sieger a", the claim is the quebecois can say "sieger SUR". Sounds cringy yet?

>Les anglicismes syntaxiques sont des agencements de mots français reproduisant une structure anglaise (ex. : siéger sur un comité, calquant to sit on a committee au lieu de faire partie d'un comité ou siéger à/dans un comité).

Also it follows that faire partie is preferable to siéger à/dans which may imply that the latter indeed came from English but I am not sure

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Français_québécois

"Calque de l'anglais" is mostly a problem in Québec and bilingual regions of Canada, and primarily happens when someone tries to use an English word of French origin(or its equivalent) in French, only they do it like they would in English.
I found a pretty good example on Google; take the English sentence "I will apply for that job", for example. The French word for "apply" is "appliquer", and they stem from the same root, however you can't say "Je vais appliquer pour ce travail", the proper way to say it is "Je vais postuler pour ce travail".
Calque de l'anglais doesn't mean that French doesn't have an expression that carries the same meaning and is just as efficient, it just means the bilingual speaker is either lazy or not proficient enough in French. And the reverse could perfectly happen with a native French speaker speaking English.

>faire partie is preferable to siéger à/dans
Maybe in Québec. I'm a law student and we use "siéger à" 100% of the time.

Yes, that was my original point.

How do you like au meilleur de ma connaissance as a calque of to the best of my knowledge?

I don't like it. I would say "pour autant que je sache".

Average American speaks Spanish, we can roll Rs here.

Yeah, I expected you'd say that because it probably sounds awkward. That's what sometimes happens in other languages too. When you say/type some of those fixed expressions a million times in English you may end up translating it back to your language word for word and you may not even notice that it sounds bad. Someone mentioned some examples in German but I forgot. They are known to adopt English words such as printen instead of drucken and then germanize them which would be something like auszuprinten or whatever.

Some English kid reported me to teacher for using the world bloody in second grade
