why are the french so autistic about english loan words?
Why are the french so autistic about english loan words?
Because English a shit.
I can't believe French used to be the lingua franca among the elites. What happened?
because based French BVLLS must retain purity and rationality of the French language unlike the mutt language a.k.a s*xonish
insecurity
people realised it was a shit meme continuing to speak the language of a dead superpower
see also: latin
>French BVLLS must retain purity and rationality of the French language
>purity and rationality of the French language
Oh lawd.
cause it's fucking annoying when people mix english words into a sentence
This is true, it's a shit aesthetic and it sounds like a pidgin language
I am 100% half of these if not all are from Quebec. Quebec is the place that's rabidly against English loan words (in the written or formal language), French people fucking LOVE English loanwords, it sounds "fancy" to them, despite the fact they butcher them.
The other day I saw some French pamphlet that referred to chicken wings as "wings", while the French word for wing (aile) is 100% adequate because THAT'S WHAT THE FUCKING THIS IS
I am well aware of the Quebecois autistic-Cnut-like obsession with ubiquitous english
this, must suck balls being dutch, I absolutely hate it when im trying to learn german and watchinga german sitcom and I have to rewind the fucking video because some German cuck uses an english word in a shitty german accent which makes me think they said a german word I didnt know
did you seriously just use "aesthetic" in an english sentence?
iktf watching american sitcoms
joueur yes but literally no one uses the rest
it's stuff the french academy is trying to force but it's very unpopular
so no the french are not autistic about loanwords the académie is
Because lazily just throwing words into your language with no care about comprehension and completeness is how English because so fucking retarded in the first place
There's clearly a connection though, look at this shit.
probably a québécois website, no one gives a shit here
the US
you're one to talk
Québec is a different thing they're trying to preserve their language in a majoritarly anglophone country
Québécois unironically call smartphones "le téléphone intelligent"
>majoritarly
i missed an i, wow
Lmao
lol
>french people call soccer,
>le foot
infox sounds super cool though
It just sounds weird tbqh
inferiority complex : the language
German is far superior
lol
English became the lingua franca thanks to British dominance over finance and trade. Fuck French hasn't been an important language since the 18th century.
English became the international language thanks to us. International treaties were still written in French well into the middle of the 20th century.
This. The French at one point in time got insecure about the number of German loanwords they had and so referred back to Latin to replace loan words with new "French" words.
lmao imagine believing this
English contaminations are strongly repulsive tho. Especially if you already have a better term in your language.
>infox to replace fake news
is that like a portmanteau of info and faux?
that's kind of clever actually
>british
Uhhh sorry sweety French was still the lingua franca until WW2--the international flight code "May Day" (m'aidez) is a good example, originally used in 1923 and made official in 1948. Also brits had nothing to do with China, Korea, and Japan
USA! USA! USA!
That's one thing I can respect quebecfaggots for. Loanwords are cancer upon a language. The other day I learned that in italian common words like sport and computer are loanwords, they have no real words for them, have you no fuckign shame?
Oops, meant to say this to everyone except the leaf:
>seething
Just face it. The British Empire was unable to dominate the world culturally like America is doing right now.
See
You can't even culturally dominate your neighbours. In almost every case the US is gradually becoming culturally closer to us, not the other way round.
El oh el
I bet you speak in an American accent
I did see it, it's as retarded as everything else posted by you """people""""
This.
yeah I'm so sure Italians had no word for "sport" until the Anglos told them about it.
>el oh el
>I bet you speak in an American accent
Ironic since "LOL" is a Canadianism
Not according to any source I can find. Mussolini (PBUH) tried to force them to use "diporto" instead but then they went right back to sport.
what did the ancient Romans call that exercise game that the ancient Greeks did every 4 years?
olympics?
what did they call the individual activities at these olympics?
Hahahaha
races? events? I'm not a fucking historian
running, jumping, throwing shit
athleticus, perhaps?
yes but no
Joueur is already in da place
Internet clandestin will soon be common, most people in France don't know what is dark web anyway.
Infox will maybe replace fake news if journalists (TV, Radio, Web etc) use this word. We must wait 2 years at least to see
Courriel is already in many official papers, 50/50
Mot-dièse is not common, I already saw it but it's rare. Like infox, we must wait 2 years to see
Giocatore

Stupid iliad here my flag
Xavier Niel master race
For computer it would be easy to use calcolatore (which can be used btw) like the other romance languages do
For sport I guess we don't
Most probably between "intox" and "info". Close though
Based
They weren't, but French had more importance back during the 1800's and early 1900's, because the upper class still bothered to learn it, and people found it a noble language.
All trade and negotiations were conducted in English in the 1800's though. For example, the Dutch would famously speak English in Japan and China.
Don't try and rub your ignorance on retards; fortunately, for the world the number of retards seems to be contained in your shithole of a nation.
They even use ordinateur instead of computer
lmao
OH NONONONONOON
yanks literally have to translate stuff into british otherwise no one understands them cant make this shit up
french is an inefficient language, especially in low-level mathematics
It's the 2nd most efficient major language in the world after English.
ah! they use internet!
mission accomplished :^)
french forever ruined
>talkie walkie
>chien-chaud
>the Dutch would famously speak English in Japan
Thats not true. The Japanese actually had people learn Dutch
It's rôteux
Germans literally say "Baby" to refer to Baby
And the plural is "Babys"
When will Frenchfags adopt the very superior Magasiner to refer to the act of shopping?
They were in a sweaty slapfight with english folk for their whole existence. So it's slightly uncomfortable for them.
It would be better to let some English words into French than whatever the fuck Québec-French is.
do y'all actually use the term "fake news"
