#What the fuck French pronounciation

[chryseiswriting-blog]

Fuck all y’all. I’ve been pronouncing it Jean like blue jeans and I ain’t about to stop just cause some French man on YouTube told me how it’s actually pronounced 😤

Jan?!? JJJAN? Like JAUN!????

YOU SERIOUSLY WANT TO TELL ME IT RHYMES WITH SEAN AND IS CLOSER TO SAN AND JAN THAN APPLE BOTTOM JEANS, BOOTS WITH THE FUR?!?

No. Denied. Go home, you’re drunk.

[ymdslf]

nothing humbles me quite as much as trying to order food in france

OKAY BUT I HAVE MORE IDEA FOR BLUNT READER CUZ I LOVE THAT AU SO MUCHANDMDJFKSLDKF

So you know how french people's insult are always outta pocket (from a person who's first language is french I can tell you that no other language compares in insult -apart for African languages)

Like,, some "bad" insult here would be : bitch, fuck off, whore,..

Which we can all agree is boring...

BUT THEN IN FRENCH!!!

We be getting creative with it

Eg.

"mange tes mort" wich translates to "eat your dead (relatives)"

"vas te fair enculer" means "go get yourself pegged in the ass"

(yes, we have a specific word for being fucked in the ass 💀)

AND THOSE WOULD BE THE COMMON ONES AS WELL

English could never compare ✨

BUT ANYWAYS

how would the characters react if reader was from france/ belgium/ canada(or any other french speaking country) and started cursing people out like they eould do in their home countrie !?!?

The eay their face would drop

We would make a couple of people cry

AND GOD(us haha) FORBID A KID OVER-HEAR US AND STARTS REPEATING US

Trying to un-teach them would be hell *cries*

Your thoughts?

Love yaaaa~

ABSOLUTE TOP TIER ORAH MY BELOVED!!

Nobody has any idea how much I HATE ENGLISH both for its rules/pronounciation BS/etc. But also, most importantly, THERES LIKE NO GOOD CUSS WORDS- OR LIKE CUSS PHRASES??

Klee would deffo be the first one to pick up ur words and use them, omg she just uses them as catchphrases like when throwing her bombs 💀

“Mange tes mort!” JUST WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AS SHE THROWS HER HUGE SKILL BOMB INTO A FISH POND

Venti would definitely make sure the winds “pass along phrases of the sacred All-God language!”

which just means anyone who UNDERSTANDS YOU JUST GETS GENTLY CREATIVELY CUSSED OUT BY THE WIND IM SOBBINGGG

does mello teach matt any croatian or german,, or other languages he speaks?

Mello and Matt both lerned German and Russian at Wammy's (Mello probably also took French because he's an overachiever and Near took it as a first foreign language and he needs to trump that little brat >:((( ).

Matt picks up some Croatian from Mello as he mutters it a lot under his breath or straight up yells it at people. He sometimes asks what certain phrases mean but he maps most of it by context in his head.

But yeah, I think they have a little heated discussion at Wammy's as to where the hell the difference between the Croatian č, ć, dž, đ, š, ž is - that's all the same sound??? And Mello gets really agitated trying to get the right pronounciation out of Matt "No it's CH not SH don't you hear the difference?? Come on, try again, what's this one?" "Sh :)" "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE, MATT, IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT"

Matt's just trying to annoy Mello as much as possible at this point.

Rating VILE operatives' codenames in french

(Season 1 edition)

Black sheep = Mouton Noir. Literal translation. It works. Longer and more of a mouthful than Black sheep though. 9/10

Crackle = Crackle, or should I say Craqueul. God does the french accent shine through in those English words, it's embarrassing. Anyway they didn't try very hard but Crackle is nice. Short, sweet, straight to the point. Though it's not a french word, it's close enough to french words and onomatopoeia like crac and craquement to bring to mind electricity with a threatening edge. Deducting a point because it's still not that transparent for french speakers. 9/10

Le Chèvre = La Chèvre. YES YES THEY CORRECTED MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE!!! "Chèvre" is a feminine noun in french, you say "la chèvre" and never "le chèvre", it just doesn't make sense. I am so happy. 100000/10

El Topo = El Topo. You know what they say: if it ain't broke... Also very glad they didn't translate as there are few names in spanish. 10/10

Tigress = Tigresse. Literal translation, which works well bc the two words are very close. The french pronounciation keeps giving me a double take so I'll deduct a point. 9/10

Mime Bomb = le Mime Marteau ("marteau" literally means hammer but it's also a colloquial way of saying "crazy"). Okay I used to think it was fucking stupid but I was just an uncultured swine. It references Marcel Marceau, aka "le Mime Marceau", a french mime and actor. I do prefer Mime Bomb bc it's both funny and gives a subtle air of menace, while to me "marteau" only conveys weirdness, but Mime Marteau is pretty good too. 10/10 for the effort.

Dash Haber = Dash Haber. 0 effort and it's not even a pun in french, for fuck's sake. 2/10

Paperstar = Origamine. There's been an effort, I'll give them that. This is a portemanteau word of "origami" (don't think I need to explain this one) and "gamine" (feminine form of "gamin", french informal word meaning kid). Buuuut... why would Paperstar call herself a kid. Yes, she has a soft singsong voice and does that humming thing, but she doesn't really... make it part of her identity?? She looks young but she doesn't strike me as wanting to be called a kid. 5/10 because i'm still very lukewarm about it.

Cookie Booker = Cathy Compta. Cathy like the name and Compta as the shortened version of "comptabilité", as in "accounting". This is the worst name ever. I love it. It HAS to be the name of a character from an old game or show because they would never have just invented it for the 2019 show. It's cheesy and sounds absolutely terrible and it cracked me up, this is so classic Carmen Sandiego. 9/10

[bisonaari]

Rambling about the finnish language because I have thoughts. They probably won't make a lot of sense, but it's mostly for me hahaha

First of all if you haven't downloaded the app Drops, you should!! It's super fun to learn vocabulary so far, and the interface is soooo cute!! Idk how effective it is on the long term, but it can't hurt to practice more hahaha.

Then this should have actually been first but whatever lol. I'm having so much fun learning the language. I hadn't felt that since I started learning japanese in 2006, and I've tried maaaaany more languages since then lol. I'm genuinely looking forward to my duolingo everyday! Every time I understand a new word in a song or an interview or something it's like my brain has solved a new puzzle and the SEROTONIN I SWEAR

Finnish has started to sound familiar for me now? Like earlier today I was watching an estonian/finnish comparison video and when the guy started speaking estonian I was like "oh yeah I def recognise the intonation and a few words, but that's it". Then the other guy started speaking finnish and my brain had a moment of "OH!! I know this!!! This is our stuff!!" Like I don't even feel that with spanish, and my spanish is better than my finnish by a LONG shot lmao. (It's still shit though I'm like three years old toddler level lol)

Idk I wanted to say something else but I'm just so so so happy a a a a a

OH YEAH also I'm a dumb fuck and since my third language is japanese I've hard-wired myself into pronouncing stuff the japanese way every time a language is nor english nor french, and it PISSES ME OFF. Because I KNOW how to pronounce the sounds but my brain is like oh did you mean [japanese sound] lemme fix that for you NO I KNOW WHAT I MEANT LET ME SAY WORDS GDI

So here is a list of stuff that I need to deprogram

from japanese

U pronounciation. In japanese, u is like a y/u mix and it's so hard to undo once you start doing it URGH

Soft-rolled r. Rolling r hard is kinda bad manneers in Japan so I never really forced myself to do it

L/R confusion. Since it's the exact same sound for both in japanese sometimes I just L my R or roll my L it's so silly hahaha

From french

T/D stridulation. It's pronouncing t as ts and d as dz instead of a hard t or d. It's only found in quebec french and it took me A BILLION YEARS to learn when I moved here, and now I have to undo it???

Ä/A distinction. Already said it, but it's more of a matter of accent in french so I need to stop using them interchangeably

Learn to fucking read y/u and ö/o GDI BISON IT'S NOT HARD

Stress of the first syllable. Almost impossible for a french speaker BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE

From both:

THERE IS NO GENDERED PRONOUN IN FINNISH STOP THINKING ABOUT IT THEY DO NOT EXIST STOPPPPPP

Thank you for reading my scrambled mind lol. I'm training for another department at work and it's a lot of info so my brain is about to leak from my ears, and it shows in my writing lmao

[bonaesperanza]

Once again I participate in the "get to know your mutuals" chain mail meme (I'm 100% this is not the correct term but my brain is really fried atm), this time I was tagged by @stripedroseandsketchpads :D I feel like I do this every two months at least so I'm kind of out of people to tag who haven't done it recently, and I've also been kind of dissociated from Tumblr due to work stress so I don't remember if I added anyone new recently :/ So whoever wants to do it, let's pretend I tagged you :D

Last song I listened to: Them Crooked Vultures - No One Loves Me & Neither Do I - I just discovered this band! Even though it's made up of really famous people from other more famous bands! And I really like it!

Currently watching: The Borgias. So far it's... okay? I'm enjoying the character beats but the actual plotty plot (i.e. the politics and wars) is so slowly paced and overly linear. They seem really scared of the audience not getting it so they only allow one plotty thing to be happening at any given time, and they make sure to spell everything out at least once per episode. Which is... not what I'm used to in my historical political drama (quite the opposite in fact!). Perhaps I could have benefited from this approach if it were a fantasy world or a country I don't have much to do with (I remember having to open up a map of Scotland so many times while reading the first Lymond because they kept going from one city to the other and I didn't know where they were in relation to each other), but it's set in my own country and half of the "as you know" recaps are just basic Italian geography for the anglophone audiences lol. After the fifth time one well-educated character explains to another well-educated character that Florence is in the north-west and Naples is south of Rome, I kind of want to scream. The pronounciations are also all over the place - three guys are sitting at a table looking each other in the eyes and pronouncing "Medici" 3 incorrect ways, at least they could have streamlined it between the actors. Like far be it from me to demand proper pronounciation with the way Italians butcher English words constantly, but at least make it consistent! Luke Pasqualino is the only one pronouncing anything as it should be pronounced, and I really felt bad for him in that scene where Lucrezia keeps asking him to say her name and they're both repeating it over and over, because he's the only one pronouncing it correctly while she's saying it as if she had a mouth full of rocks. Btw my favourite Holliday Grainger fucking up the Italian scene so far is when she needs to ride breathlessly up to the French king and say a long line about her brother Juan the Gonfaloniere and basically she's supposed to repeat "Gonfaloniere" several times and you can literally see her going "my brother is the gonfalonsajkdnajsdsbaj" and making a "fuck it, whatever" expression when she gets to the complicated part. Anyway I am enjoying the show, the pronounciations make me laugh they don't make me mad. And the costumes are gorgeous!

Sweet/spicy/savory: Savory or spicy, depending on the mood. I dislike sweet things.

Current Obsession: Nothing really, I've been really tangled up with RL things and am feeling vaguely anhedonic because I keep thinking about work, so it's hard to get into something haha. This is actually why I'm able to focus on the Borgias, because they have quite low bandwidth requirements (i tried to watch it before and found it slow-ish). This too shall pass I suppose :)

mag 102 - nesting instinct

SOMEHOW i did not notice the bug wife stuff the first time i listened to this. i must not have been paying attention to it cause all i remembered was that it was in french. so imagine how horrified i was when i heard second hand what it was actually about. like, i don't fucking know how i didn't notice?!

but, um, yeah. this episode has a lot of classical corruption traits - a desperate ache for been loved and needed being quite prominent. personally i wouldn't fulfill that through a bug but eh. i've never been much for marriage lol. i've heard people say that the french pronounciations here kinda suck, which, based on how jonny says 'ny-ålesund' is not exactly unbelievable. still, always fun to hear statements set in places beyond england

elias is, predictably, fucking useless. i get why he's being like that but honestly this might be the most infuriating behaviour he's displayed yet - i hate him more for being frustrating than for murdering leitner tbh. stan melanie king for wanting to kill him even if at the cost of all their lives - a decision that is surprisingly much like a smaller scale version of what jon ends up doing. they are, truly, so similar. still, like always, her anger and emotions come in the way of her being able to express her quite frankly pretty rational conclusions

what do you imagine it's like working in any part of the institute that isn't the archives? do you just hear about these weirdos running around and dying? are most of them paranormal enthusiasts or academics that just couldn't find positions anywhere more reputable? they live generally pretty normal lives, right?

[feardot-com]

sometimes i like to think that if the lost boys encountered someone from Quebec they’d laugh

because as québécois we don’t swear normally at all, we go “Osti de tabarnak de sacrament, de câlice de ciboire de criss de marde!” which is basically just saying fuck in different ways

i had this conversation a while ago with a friend and i love pretending that it’s one of the boys in my friends place

my friend: dude, dude, i just learnt a new french word, what does it mean?

me: what’s the word?

my friend: Tabarnet

me: do you mean tabarnack?

my friend: yeah tabarnette !! what does it mean?

me: it’s basically tabernacle, a holy word but we use it as fuck

my friend then goes up to all his friends and just yells “TABARNEK”

he never did get the pronounciation right but it was so funny

[whoreslut-supreme]

Actually i have a story from a couple months back cause it's funny. There was an english competition and the first elimination round was at my school, the second at the school the competition itself was in and the competition as a whole. So at the first round we just had to listen to a recording of someone reading a text and write it down. So yeah, i did that, i just wasn't sure about a single word that appeared a few times. The girl who was sitting next to me asked the teacher later what was that word, and she told us. Except. Later on, i was told that i did it perfectly. As in, no mistakes. Which means i guessed the word right. But the word the teacher gave us was different. So, by process of elimination, she must have told us the wrong word (she didn't read it from anywhere, she just told us, so i think she just said what she thought she heard). BUT WAIT there's more. The final round, so the actual competition, was different - we chose an envelope, there were ten words inside, and they got a guy who was american, so he had an accent, to read them out and we had to spell it letter by letter. Except. The guy did not know these words. And how do i know? He pronounced quite a few wrong. And this isn't me insulting him, they specifically chose words that were long, uncommon, complicated and had a lot of silent parts (i heard two that were french for some reason, but that only makes it funnier), so like, he had the full right to not know them just like that. Why didn't they give the words to him first, before the competition, so he can know what's there? No clue. They probably just had this idea and went "hey man, you're ✨american✨, so can you read them out in your ✨american accent✨ for us for a competition with monetary prizes?"

Meaning that not only did they not prepare the teachers for elimination rounds, fucked up the recording on the second elimination round (which i didn't mention, but it was a badly cut accidentally sped up, yes they said it was on accident, part of an audiobook that we had to write down on a way too small piece of paper), they didn't prepare the guy AROUND WHOM THE FINAL ROUND LITERALLY CENTERED, they also used words that aren't even english, with a non-english pronounciation, in an english competition.

So yeah, polish schools everyone. It's just exquisite how organized they are. I aspire to be like them.

[suttttton]

i started learning french, which will be my third language after english and arabic, and after 5 years of studying arabic i am FLOORED by how easy this language is

[naupactus]

i hate french. what do you mean the é doesnt mean that the e is the stronger syllable in the word. why is this language like this

[felikatze]

"German is complicated"

The German language: this is a shape with four corners. We call it “fourcorner”

[starsabovee]

HIIII!!! FOR OTHERS READING THIS, ISAT SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT…

Yes, Colette, Lucien and Léonce are ocs!! Colette and Lucien belong to my friend Sarc and Léonce belongs to @deadinsidecreatures !! I can’t remember what chapter they’re introduced but (i think it’s 4?). I adore them all sm…

AND!! Yes i did say he’s a sheep and not a shepherd! He really is though in this au… im so sorry Siffrin but you’d rather follow than lead - it’s what you’ve spent essentially your entire life doing.

Oh absolutely. *slaps Siffrin upside the head in an unnecessarily violent manner* this bad boy feels ashamed about everything!!

YES!!!!! It is one of his last connections to his home, he’d actually never be able to forgive himself if they ever got rid of their wings. actually…hm…speaking of that… *starts sweating* ur gonna kill me for what happens in one of the chapters of OTC…

REAL!!! I am horrifyingly dependent on the people around me and it freaks me out!! So is Siffrin /silly /j!! But also not really he survived on his own for… *counts on fingers* 7 years…? That’ll make sense eventually as you read OTC!!

He does!! Just during the loops they totally fucking forgot about it because that’s how Siffrin is 😭 it’s okay Sif, we love you despite your forgetfulness…

OKAY YOU WONDERING IF LEONCE HELPED SIF PICK OUT THAT NAME IS SUPER FUNNY. Because he went by another name when he lived in Kaia (coastal city in Vaugarde i made up on the spot) with Léonce, Lucien and Colette!!

OH YOU. GRABS YOU. HOW DO YOU KNOW MY PLANS FOR SIFFRIN AND ISABEAU… WHY ARE YOU IN MY WALLS!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!1! /silly

Yeah I feel like the last name stuff would be like how Odile didn’t tell anyone that she actually had no research because it was “easier”. The party already thought he has no last name, so he just went with it rather than correcting them.

Ah, Mira, always the one who realizes it last… SJFJCKSKAK

Okay so, this took unnecessarily long to find but i had to look it up cuz i couldnt remember how to pronounce it, but google says the French pronounciation is a-veli-ne?? Unsure if that’s right, French people please correct me if this is wrong /silly. Also, another fact, it means hazelnut!! Dont google translate it it says something completely different LMAOO.

OC KNOWLEDGE!! Out of Léonce, Lucien and Colette, Léonce is the oldest, being somewhere in her 20s when she found Siffrin and is now somewhere in her 30s. Lucien and Colette are a few years behind her, and if we include Siffrin, out of the four he is the youngest, obviously. Léonce and Colette are Housemaidens in Kaia’s House of Change and Lucien is a florist! Their appearances aren’t described yet in the fics I think but I’ll let you in on something… Lucien has Islander descent… but is not directly from the Island… so they do not have wings!

Yes the King’s wings are very big due to how big he is!! And yes they are the same shade! “and they're the same shade as sif's??? are they?? related??” I hear you ask… and i say… read the end of chapter 2 of DEISY… and you shall see…

Islander wings are various patterns and shades, but children often get a mix of shades and patterns from their parents! Each Islander’s wings are unique in their own way!

EUPHRASIE DOES HAVE WINGS YES YES YES SHE IS AN ISLANDER IN THIS AU!! I LIVE FOR ISLANDER EUPHRASIE YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Siffrin preens by using his hands to get loose feathers and dirt and such out, and getting the sheaths off of pin feathers so they can grow in. Sometimes he struggles to reach the back so he has to get help.

THEY DO MOLT YES!! SOMEONE FINALLY ASKED ME THIS OH MY GOD… YOURE MY SAVIOR… but, yes, Siffrin does molt and he gets very grumpy when it happens… not only grumpy, they also hate it when people touch their wings when they’re molting and he gets irritable and such, and tends to hide away in their tent if they’re traveling or in their room if they’re at an inn. He only comes out for food and such.

The party could get some of his feathers! You’re going to LOVE chapter 1 of DEISY.

Loop has wings, yes! They’re bat-like with starry stuff!

YOURE WELCOMEEEE!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

also if you want some voice headcanons… i hear all of the canon characters as the voices used in the jelloapocalypse/jelloplaysgames isat streams… i can’t unhear it so it’s how i hear them in this fic and all my other fics LMAOO

ALSO, for pronouns for the ocs! Léonce uses she/they, Lucien uses they/them and Colette uses she/her!

ALSO ALSO U MENTIONED DOING A SKETCH…….. ID LOVE OTC/DEISY FANART IM CRYING AT EVERYONE READING THIS RN PLS I RUN OFF OF PARTLY FANART, PEOPLE SHOWING INTEREST, AND PEOPLE MAKING WRITING OF MY AUS…

HELLO HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE @moons-among-distant-stars I COMR WITH A PRESENT.

OTC/DEISY RAMBLING!

im not warning for spoilers because im too tired to do that LMAOO but im putting most of this under the read more

So i saw one of ur reblogs to my reblog of ur reblog (a lot of reblog there) and i was like. Im gonna ramble again!! Mostly ab Sif’s wings!! So ya!!

No, Siffrin does not like his wings. They view them as a burden, as he can’t use them to fly, glide, or anything, and for other reasons. One of those being the fact that it’s a connection to the King, as he has wings too. But, it’s also not just with the fact that they’re just there, no, it’s also appearance wise. Their wings have shades suspiciously close to the shades the King’s wings once were before he was frozen in time. I WONDER WHY!! bats my eyes at you aggressively

Siffrin has trust problems when it comes to his wings, too. He’s so ashamed of them that he doesn’t let anyone outside his family see them, and even then that’s iffy on some days. Only a select few can even touch their wings without asking, those people being Isabeau, Loop, Colette, Léonce and Lucien.

Due to this hatred for his wings, Siffrin hardly takes care of them on some days. The only reason he does on most days is because Odile told him to, and Siffrin’s a sheep most of the time, not a shepherd (ouch, sorry Siffrin… LMAO). And when they don’t want to, then Léonce and/or Loop help him with it.

Sure, Isabeau thinks Siffrin’s wings are very cute, and yeah, it helps a little, but it doesn’t fix Siffrin’s insecurity and loathing of them. Siffrin’s self-hatred runs very deep, but, if you want a good side, it doesn’t run so deep that Siffrin would consider getting rid of them. That’d be severing one of the last links he has to his home, and that’s the last thing they want to do.

A. TIME FOR FLUFF!! Grabs you by the shoulders. Since Siffrin has wings, that means that normal clothing… really wouldn’t work for him. Before the events of IBaS,iTaT!ISAT, Siffrin stuck with cutting wing holes into his shirts, but after the loops, Isabeau began helping Siffrin with that, so now, most of Siffrin’s shirts and such are made by Isabeau. Isabeau has offered to do the same for Loop but Loop very quickly denied it and said they’re fine and they don’t need anything when they can steal from Siffrin. Which… is true. They do that sometimes LMAO.

Im giving you more fluff to balance out the angst. I did some thinking a few days ago and decided THIS!!!: Siffrin washed up in Vaugarde at 16 and Léonce found him (already canon) - they very very likely legally adopted him (translation: she did) since he was a child at the time and yk that child needed a guardian, (and fuck, sometimes he still does have you SEEN the stuff he gets into sometimes?) and well, they stuck to her like glue. Léonce’s last name is Aveline, and by proxy, that became Siffrin’s last name. So, technically, Siffrin does have a last name, which is Aveline. I really need to write a scene where Léonce full-names Siffrin in a tone of an annoyed mom 💀 (“SIFFRIN AVELINE.” LMAOO)

Due to the loops, Siffrin totally forgot about this until he went to Kaia with the party. Then he remembered. He has yet to even bring it up with the rest of the group but Odile has pieced things together based on observations of how Léonce treats Siffrin god awfully like a child of her own… so has Isabeau… but the others remain unknowing LOL

OKAY END OF YAP. IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THIS AU PLS PLS PLS ASK ME I WANT TO YAP MORE.

[crowned-ladybug]

i saw your tags on the "marvin picking up french" post, and as a french person ( well, french canadian, but yee) i have to say that you description of french make absolute sense. this language is a big mess

thank you i’m glad to have my ideas about it backed up by a nativer speaker. so far i’ve only had the opinion of non-native speakers on the matter, mainly in the form of my many ex-classmates who took french and seemed to have greatly regretted it

tho let’s be honest all latin languages are a Mess bc latin itself is a Mess
