Un question dans le francais... (grammer question)

[SCpoloRicker]

Which part, jakedubleya?

I'm quite sure I screwed up some spelling and grammer, but FONETIKILEE its probably close to dead on...

/Quirk's exception?

edit: I checked. Yes, I mispelled several words. I also used a slang form of asking a question and screwed up the article ("Ne te comprends pas?" should correctly be "Vous ne comprenez pas?" or "Tu ne comprenez pas?"). Boy, I sure look like an idiot. Its not like I can make myself understood.

I'll ask again: how many languages do you speak?

[SlartyBartFast]

I also had a French-Canadien girlfriend in college.

That should be French-Canadian or canadien-francais.

[SlartyBartFast]

Dans certaines situations c'est permis d'utilser le singulier. Comme celle ici: "fermes ta yul, chalice!"

sale pute!
face a claques!

Colis!, pas chalice. Tabarnac! works well too.

And it's geule. so more of a G sound and not a Y.

[SCpoloRicker]

That should be French-Canadian or canadien-francais.

Ha! I just saw that. She'd be proud.

according to babelfish

You've got to be kidding. You're lucky if anything makes sence through Babelfish.


As for the anti-French sentiment....

Slarty -

I spelled "chalice", because that's the right word. It's a religion-based curse, same as "tabernac" or "sacrement". "Colis" means 'parcel', according to my Collins/Robert.

Ricker -

I presumed when you wrote "ne te comprends pas" that you meant "I don't understand you", in which case all you needed was to add a "Je" at the start. Your later suggestions all meant "you don't understand", which is quite different, n'est ce pas?

[SCpoloRicker]

I was trying for "Don't you understand?" or "You don't understand?"

My imperitives and slang are teh suxxorz.

I know that. But you spelled it wrong anyways.

I don't think you have to explain French slang to me. Particularly the Quebecois variety.

French for chalice is calice.

But if you pronounce it that way you'll get laughed at. Hence: Colissse!

Is discussing slang and how to swear in languages other than English appropriate for AO?

You're right. But hey, neither of us is a Franco, correct?

As Ricker demonstrated, it's not safe to write fonetikalee on teh intarwebs.

(I'll buy you at pint at AO-Canada)

I'm married to one, and I can hold my own in Lac St-Jean.
