had to roast Quebec's "French" in the comment of a video, because "le toaster" and "un milkshake" will never not haunt my darkest nightmares lol
You can't just add "le" and "un" in front of a word and pretend that makes it French lmao
#both my sister and I have been given shit for using “vous” when speaking to what is essentially a stranger#ain't no fucking way in hell am I referring to you as “tu”#I don't know you and that's fucking rude as hell#as a *Francophone* you should fucking know that#''ca va et vous?'' is the specific phrase in question here#I was always taught that ''tu'' is informal and what you'd use for like close friends#I am not referring to a random stranger and/or coworker I barely know informally because you've convinced yourself manners are outdated#I'm not saying ''vous'' 'cause I think you're old#I'm saying ''vous'' because I literally don't fucking know you and therefore don't know if informality is appropriate#me being respectful translating to me calling you old in your head is 100% a *you* problem#''we're not old ladies!'' well you're older than *me* and I don't know you so you're gettin' the ''vous''
