Should I follow you in an SU?

"Introvert"  is just an assessment by vague synthetic indicator.

I don't believe in made up words.

French is just as horrible with grammatical tenses as some conjugations in multiple grammatical tenses are only spelled differently but pronounced the same. So when you get to speak it fluently, writing it without having learned that can and will be a nightmare.

French is a language of exceptions, so knowing the rules won't help if you don't know the exceptions by heart ... I see that daily with my daughter, being trilingual doesn't help.

Though, English isn't better with it's multiple prononciations of similar grammar ;

 

ate > are

bat > bar

sir > sit

etc ... 

 

My daughter has a hard time with the above also ... only language that's easy for her to write is Chinese because it's not based on letters with phonetics that change depending on the word.

Another one to the name history...

 

I still want to know who renamed it to "history of MotF titles" after I created a post in Test Posts called that.

French on the other hand definitely not because it appears to have more exceptions than rules.

Pretty much yeah ... another thing that is a pain in the ass is everything is gendered (un / une - le / la), there are no rules for that, you just have to brute force you way into it and at one point you just know. That's the one easy trick to spot a non-native speaker.

Edit: Lol, aren't there mistakes in the video as well? Wouldn't it be "Abonnes-toi" if they were using that, or even better "abonnez-vous" because they apparently prefer formal speech?

Unless they meant to have used it as an imperative (which I do think), in which case abonne-toi would be correct. But I think they'd still prefer "abonnez-vous".

Actually, it's used as an imperative, so "abonne-toi" is appropriate ... "abonnez-vous" would be the formal way, but sounds weird to me, I've always heard "abonne-toi".

There, fixed that for you !

 

French people are nice, Parisians are assholes ... any French not living in Paris will agree.

"Toi" is rather uncommon from what I've seen. Maybe people from France are arrogant or whatever, I don't know

Everything that caters to young audiences goes with "toi" nowadays. 

Drives me crazy here that marketing material increasingly goes to using that, even leaflets for telecom providers and stuff. They know the "old guys" are sorted so they target young people and go more and more with the "hey pal, want a better deal?" almost kid-like approach. And it works since those types increasingly consider the formal approach as being a ridicluous boomer thing they'll just laugh at. Obviously that's a vicious circle since if they laugh at the formal stuff you now HAVE to use the "friend" approach to reach them.

I just admitted in public something that I'm saying I wouldn't dare admit in public.

 

It's a paradox, if you think about it. You can't admit something that you can't admit.
